Apple's China Debacle: The Corporation as an Agent of Social Change

But Apple does act as a robber baron. How else to explain their propagation of the iPod in markets where there are few legal music alternatives? Even though Apple states that it's against piracy, a large part of its revenue in the many markets around the world is from the iPod which is mainly used for pirated music. And yes, shareholders benefit from this as Apple has made a lot of money for shareholders but at the expense of copyright holders
