Ondrej Holzman Hadda waxa uu baxsad ku yahay Maxkamadda Wareegta ee Oakland, California boj u dhexeeya Apple iyo dacwoodayaasha, kuwaas oo matalaya ilaa siddeed milyan oo macaamiisha ah iyo sidoo kale tafaariiqda waaweyn, in shirkadda Apple ay xannibtay tartan tobankii sano ee la soo dhaafay iyada oo ilaalinaysa iTunes iyo iPods. Apple waxay ku andacoonaysaa inaysan wax khalad ah samayn, dacwad oogayaasha ayaa si kale u malaynaya.
Dacwoodayaashu waxay Apple ka raadinayaan $351 milyan oo magdhow ah, iyagoo sheegay in cusboonaysiinta Apple ay ku soo bandhigtay iTunes ay tahay wax horumar ah, ugu yaraan maaha marka laga eego aragtida isticmaaleyaasha. Iyadoo ay weheliso iPod nano cusub oo la soo bandhigay 2006, shirkadda California ayaa lagu eedeeyay inay xaddidday macaamiisha iyo ku xad-gudbida sharciyada lidka ku ah kalsoonida.
iPod ee iTunes kaliya
"Waxay lahayd laba jeer xusuusta waxayna ku timid shan midab oo kala duwan," qareenka dacwad-oogayaasha Bonnie Sweeney ayaa ku tiri hadalkeedii furitaanka Talaadadii, "laakiin waxa Apple aysan u sheegin macaamiisha ayaa ah in koodka la yimid Nano cusub uu sidoo kale ku jiray 'bac Koodhka Xaqiijinta'. Nano code-kan ma dedejin mana wanaajin tayada codkiisa sinaba... kamay dhigin mid qurux badan ama qurux badan. Taa beddelkeeda, waxay ka hor istaagtay isticmaaleyaasha si sharci ah uga iibsaday heesaha tartamayaasha inay ku ciyaaraan iPod-kooda. "
Gaar ahaan, waxaan ka hadleynaa cusbooneysiinta iTunes 7.0 iyo 7.4, kuwaas oo, sida ay sheegeen dacwoodayaashu, loogu talagalay tartanka. Apple looma dacwayn isticmaalka DRM ee ilaalinta nuqulka se, laakiin wax ka beddelka DRM-keeda si aanu ula shaqayn, tusaale ahaan, Harmony oo ka socda Shabakadaha dhabta ah.
Heesaha laga soo iibiyay iTunes waxay ahaayeen kuwo codeed waxaana lagu ciyaari karaa iPod-yada oo keliya. Marka isticmaaluhu uu doonayo inuu u beddelo badeecad tartan ah, waxay ku qasbanaadeen inay ku gubaan heesaha CD-ga, ku wareejiyaan kombuyuutar kale, ka dibna u wareejiyaan ciyaartoy kale oo MP3 ah. "Tani waxay xoojisay booska keli-taliska ah ee Apple," Sweeny ayaa yidhi.
Xaqiiqda ah in Apple ay isku dayday in ay si dhab ah u xannibto tartanka alaabteeda waxaa caddeeyey dacwoodaha oo wata qaar ka mid ah e-maillada gudaha ee wakiilada sare ee shirkadda. "Jeff, waxaa laga yaabaa inaan wax ka bedelno halkan," Steve Jobs ayaa u qoray Jeff Robbins markii Shabakadaha Real ay bilaabeen Harmony 2006, kaas oo ku ciyaaray kaydka tartame ee iPod-ka. Dhowr maalmood ka dib, Robbins wuxuu ku wargeliyay asxaabtiisa in tillaabooyin fudud runtii loo baahan yahay in la qaado.
Xidhiidhka gudaha ee madaxa suuqgeynta Phil Schiller, Shaqooyinku waxay xitaa u gudbiyeen shabakadaha dhabta ah sida haakarisku isku dayaya inay jabiyaan iPod-kiisa, inkasta oo saamiga suuqa ee adeegga wakhtigaas uu ahaa mid yar.
Harmony waxay ahayd khatar
Laakiin qareenada Apple si la fahmi karo waxay fikrad ka duwan ka qabaan iTunes 7.0 iyo 7.4, oo la soo bandhigay Sebtembar 2006 iyo sannad ka dib Sebtembar 2007, siday u kala horreeyaan. "Haddii dhamaadka maxkamadeynta aad ogaato in iTunes 7.0 iyo 7.4 ay ahaayeen horumarin wax soo saar oo dhab ah, markaa waa inaad ogaataa in Apple aysan waxba ka khaldamin tartanka," William Isaacson ayaa u sheegay xeerbeegtida siddeedaad ee garsooraha hadalkiisa furitaanka.
Sida laga soo xigtay isaga, cusbooneysiinta la sheegay waxay inta badan ku saabsan tahay hagaajinta iTunes, ma ahan go'aan istaraatiijiyadeed oo lagu xannibayo Harmony, iyo nooca 7.0 wuxuu ahaa "cusbooneysii ugu muhiimsanaa tan iyo markii ugu horeysay ee iTunes". In kasta oo siidayntan la sheegay in aanay ahayn wax ku saabsan DRM, Isaacson waxa uu qirtay in Apple ay dhab ahaantii u aragtay nidaamka Shabakadda dhabta ah in uu yahay mid ku soo xadgudbay nidaamkeeda. Hackers badan ayaa isku dayay in ay jabsadaan iTunes iyada oo loo marayo.
"Harmony wuxuu ahaa software ku shaqeeya fasax la'aan. Wuxuu rabay inuu dhex galo iPod iyo iTunes oo uu khiyaamo FairPlay (magaca Apple's DRM system - note editor's). Waxay khatar ku ahayd waayo-aragnimada isticmaalaha iyo tayada badeecadda, "ayuu yidhi Isaacson Talaadadii, isagoo xaqiijiyay in isbeddellada kale, iTunes 7.0 iyo 7.4 ay sidoo kale keeneen isbeddel sir ah, taas oo Harmony ka saartay ganacsiga.
Intii lagu guda jiray hadalkiisii furitaanka, Isaacson wuxuu sidoo kale tilmaamay in shabakadaha Real - halka ciyaaryahan muhiim ah - uusan ka soo muuqan doonin maxkamada gabi ahaanba. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Garsoore Rogers ayaa u sheegay xeerbeegtida inay iska indhatiraan Maqnaanshaha Shabakadda Real maadaama aysan shirkadu qayb ka ahayn dacwada.
Tirtir heesaha digniin la'aan
Maxkamadeynta ayaa sii socotay Arbacadii, iyadoo Patrick Coughlin, oo ah qareen u doodaya isticmaaleyaasha, uu u sharraxay xeerbeegtida sida Apple ay u tirtirtay muusig ay ka soo iibsatay dukaamada tartanka iPod-keeda ogeysiis la'aan intii u dhaxeysay 2007 iyo 2009. "Waxaad go'aansatey inaad siiso waayo-aragnimada ugu xun ee suurtogalka ah oo aad burburiso maktabadahooda muusikada," Apple Coughlin ayaa sidaas yidhi.
Markaas ka dib, markii isticmaaluhu uu ka soo dejiyey muusikada dukaanka tartanka ku jira oo uu isku dayay inuu ku dhejiyo iPod-ka, farriin qalad ah ayaa soo baxday oo faraysa isticmaaluhu inuu ku soo celiyo cayaartoyga goobaha warshadda. Kadib markii isticmaaluhu uu soo celiyay iPod-ka, muusigii tartamayay waa la waayay. Apple waxa ay u qaabaysay nidaamka in aanu "u sheegin dadka isticmaala dhibaatada," Coughlin ayaa sharaxay.
Taasi waa sababta, kiis toban sano jir ah, dacwoodayaashu waxay ka dalbanayaan $351 milyan ee aan soo sheegnay Apple, taas oo sidoo kale kordhin karta ilaa saddex jeer sharciyada lidka ku ah Maraykanka.
Apple waxay ka hortimid inay ahayd tallaabo ammaan oo sharci ah. "Ma ahayn inaan siino isticmaalayaasha macluumaad dheeri ah, ma dooneyno inaan ku jahwareerno," ayuu yiri agaasimaha amniga Augustin Farrugia. Waxa uu u sheegay xeerbeegtida in tuugada sida "DVD Jon" iyo "Requiem" ay Apple ka dhigeen "mid aad u naxdin badan" oo ku saabsan ilaalinta iTunes. "Nidaamka gabi ahaanba waa la jabsaday," Farrugia wuxuu ku sababeeyay sababta Apple ay muusik tartan ah uga saartay alaabteeda.
"Qof ayaa gurigayga soo galaya," Steve Jobs ayaa email kale ugu qoray Eddy Cue, oo mas'uul ka ahaa iTunes. Dacwad oogayaasha ayaa la filayaa in ay soo bandhigaan isgaarsiin kale oo gudaha ah oo Apple ah si ay u caddeeyaan inta uu socdo kiiska, waana Cue with Phil Schiller kaas oo ka soo muuqan doona goobta markhaatiga. Isla mar ahaantaana, dacwad oogayaasha ayaa la filayaa inay adeegsadaan qaybo ka mid ah cajalad muuqaal ah oo laga duubay markhaatiga Steve Jobs laga soo bilaabo 2011kii.
Aad u xishood badan. Waxaan rajeynayaa in Apple ay si sax ah u lumiso dagaalkan.
