Thomas Brewster, Forbes; Apple Lawsuit Against Cyber Startup Threatens ‘Dangerous’ Expansion Of Copyright Law
"As Apple and Corellium
head towards mediation talks, the iPhone maker has been criticized for
“dangerous” claims that the cybersecurity startup has broken copyright
laws. Critics say the lawsuit could lead to an expansion of U.S.
copyright law and legally endanger software creators and security
researchers tinkering with Apple tech.
Corellium “virtualizes”
Apple iPhones. In other words, it creates software-only versions of the
devices, helping researchers and developers better test hacks or the
functionality of apps. For instance, if a developer wanted to see
whether their app crashes iOS or breaks a phone entirely, they won’t
have to restart or buy a new iPhone if they can just spawn a new
software version at speed.
But Apple believes this amounts to illegal replication of its famous phone."
