Apple

The decision made by Apple will decrease the efficiency of their product, lose their popularity, and lastly, result in more piracy.

Such decision made by Apple will decrease the efficiency of their product. In Asia, the iPhone is one of the most popular hand phones. However, if they where to not allow the music store, it means that users will have to find more alternative ways to download music and have them inside the product. An evidence to prove this will be a blog post made by an anonymous blogger. He complained about the inconvenience to download songs and “sync” into the iPhone. He even started a rally to collect the votes of many who had the same thought as him. The result shown was that many people were really unhappy about the music store not introduced in Asia, which had caused much inconvenience.

If Apple were to continue to not allow the music store to be set up in Asia, the company will gradually lose their popularity. The Asian may feel that the company is biased against them, also disregarding the interest of the Apple users of Asia, and in turn disliking the products. An evidence to prove this is a statistic of the number of products bought against the popularity of the company. It had shown that of two companies that are producing similar things, people will choose the company that they feel will take their interest as the priority. However, what Apple is doing now shows that they had put the interest of Asian as the minor factor to consider. Feeling disrespected, the popularity of Apple will then drop.

Such policy from Apple will lastly, result in more piracy, contradicting their intention. As they do not allow users to buy music, book or movies using the Apple product, in may result in more piracy. The users are unable to buy these things even if they were willing to pay for them. Hence, they will go for alternative method to get them. Methods such as torrent, jailbreak, or illegal downloads will be used. This contradicts the initial intention of the company.

In conclusion, the policy made by Apple will decrease the efficiency of their product, lose their popularity, and lastly, result in more piracy.
