Govt should not have the right except by fighting for it case by case in the courts. Rule of law is important, right? Why leave it to companies or govts?

And courts decide based on the written law and precedents. Without Apple refusing to perform, this case would be the precedent for all future requests in terrorism cases, drug cases, divorce cases, chinese dissident cases...the cancer Tim Cook speaks of

Apple refusing will hopefully lead to legislators writing specific law for a future court to decide.

Apple is doing the right thing. It's law that needs to be written by our representatives. Not decided by a single judge. If that law is that the information needs to be provided, then so be it.

But right now, there is no precedent
