Cupertino, CA - In a startling turn of events, Apple today announced that it has decided to stop selling the iPhone, effective immediately. When asked for more details, a spokesperson stated: "The iPhone might be used by people who buy it. This use could lead to complaints, and in the age of the Internet, these complaints could lead to bad PR for Apple. Therefore, Apple has decided that selling the iPhone is just too risky."

The problem isn't with selling the iPhone, it's with letting people DO anything with it.

It's frighteningly reminiscent of Stallman's "The Right To Read" dystopia.

Well, I wanted to buy an iPhone to read copyright infringing books.
