New York: Three years after the tech world mourned his passing, Apple mastermind Steve Jobs was back from the dead on Friday giving posthumous testimony in a video at a US antitrust trial. Oakland court jury said that the case have been submerged since the beginning of the week in a debate over whether consumers who bought Apple’s iPod between 2006 and 2009 were effectively forced to purchase their music. Jobs’ testimony from a few months before his death in October 2011 was played at the hearing on Friday.
In excerpts published by online news site “The Verge,” he said that Apple was “very concerned” about retaliatory measures that could be taken by record companies if songs purchased in iTunes and downloaded to an iPod were then copied onto somebody else’s computer. Jobs record said ‘hackers’ were trying to break into the system, and as a result, Apple had to be constantly “revving the iTunes and iPod software,.”
