I find shifting arguments fairly repulsive. I'm sorry if that offends you.
8note made the point that you could buy games from other stores. It's a narrow point. Why would you reply to that person (in particular) about a digital protection issue that has been prevalent in consoles since the NES introduced it in 1983? Why not start your own thread about that issue?
Do you expect him to support a point he did not make? Because it sounds like you are assuming his point of view on digital protection would be different than yours.

I think you've misunderstood the point. Do you think if Apple permitted apps to be physically sold in stores, but still took their 30% and required apps to be approved, that everyone would be happy?
If the problem is Apple doesn't allow you to sell apps without going through their approval process, Microsoft does the same.
If the problem is Apple doesn't allow you to sell apps without collecting a commission on each sale, Microsoft does the same.
