> You're just inventing random things
You compared the apple court cases to the salem witch trials, and compared it to a "morally unjust witch hunt".
Oh sorry, you said "Maybe there's a parallel there?". Not like that matters though. It is obvious what you are attempting to say here.
Like, C'mon. By comparing a current anti-trust court case, to the salem witch trials, you are attempting to delegitimize the process.
When you say stuff like "Maybe there's a parallel there?", you are attempting to imply that the current trials are similar to the salem witch trials. Thats what you are saying when you asking if there is a parallel there.
You even said "Why would the court's opinion change my moral opinion on whether something is (illegal)"
You straight up asked why the courts opinion on something, would change your opinion on whether it "IS" illegal. (Yes, you also included the word "should", but you also said "is" as well)
If a court says that Apple's actions are illegal, then that is a pretty good reason for you to change your mind on whether those actions are illegal, and it is silly for you to then compare well respected judges, and uncontroversial laws, to the freaking salem witch trials!
You can't just back off from your comparison to the salem witch trials now. It is clear that you are attempting to delegitimize the trial.
That is an extreme comparison. You can't just make that comparison, and then get surprised when I point out how extreme that comparison is.
