WTF Apple? 10 Total devices w/AppleID?

[JAT]

I was worried for a while. We have a large family (4 kids) with LOTS of Apple devices - so far 4 iPhones, 3 iPads, 5 iPod Touch, 6 Macs - and I really don't think it is reasonable to pay twice for e.g. games and books that we all share in the household.
As long as you can sync to the same physical computer, I think that is fine. I can see they have to limit the iCloud syncing and 10 is as good a number as anything IMO.

Time to teach your kids about buying their own stuff. Also, your definition of reasonable is irrational. How many duplicate apps and books could you afford if next time someone wants a new $1200 Mac, you just skipped it for a year?

Copyright Law, it is illegal to issue, share, copy, rent or lend work created by someone else to anyone, without consent of the owner, so i guess Apple have the consent to issue it over a certain amount of devices, but it's all up to the Content Owners

you have the ability to create copies of CDs, doesn't make it legal.

My response was to your comment that an Apple ID was meant for an individual only. There is no law specifically stating that an Apple ID is to be used by one and only one individual only. Apple not only allows purchases to be utilized by multiple users but encourages it.

I suppose if a dev wants to sue over it they can but as it stands right now there is nothing in the TOC that prevents it. Now if Apple's TOC limits the number of devices then that is their right to put it in their TOC.
