Given the info he's collecting from each device, if he's raided and server(s) confiscated, and that info given to Apple, I wonder if Apple will suspend the App Store accounts of those involved in in-app purchasing theft?


Preventing users who steal content from ever being able to legitimately access content is probably not a shrewd business move. Especially when alternatives exist.


Can't find references quickly, but in the past Apple has banned accounts of fraud victims, after they reported their accounts being hijacked. Victims, not perpetrators. Three fraud/hijack reports -> ban.


It's been 11 hours since you posted that. Apparently you can't find references slowly either.
