“Apple, in this EULA, is claiming a right not just to its software, but to its software’s output. It’s akin to Microsoft trying to restrict what people can do with Word documents, or Adobe declaring that if you use Photoshop to export a JPEG, you can’t freely sell it to Getty. As far as I know, in the consumer software industry, this practice is unprecedented.”

This gets to the heart of the matter in my mind, why this whole thing is so screwed up. Imagine a world where every piece of software you run on your personal computer has this form of restriction on user generated content you create using it.
