You are wrong. What Apple does is rare and difficult and it takes courage, skill and taste. What Apple does lift the society and makes the world better, and the intellectual property system should protect this kind of enterprise. The patent system is grossly outdated and sometimes very wrong I'll admit, at the same time a company like Apple has to use something to legally protect themselves from being blatantly imitated, unfortunately now Apple can only go to war wielding patents. But as a Chinese seeing the cesspool that is Chinese tech industry, I strongly oppose letting mafia companies such as Samsung (or a Chinese example, Huawei) reign freely. That would be a lost for us all.
