suing the startup for copyright infringement—despite Corellium’s claims that their product is being sold as “a research tool for those trying to discover security vulnerabilities and other flaws in Apple’s software”.
But despite that, Apple argues that the commercialisation of their intellectual property is against copyright laws: “The purpose of this lawsuit is not to encumber good-faith security research, but to bring an end to Corellium’s unlawful commercialization of Apple’s valuable copyrighted works,” Part of the problem is the material gain that Corellium is making from the virtual copies, with Apple saying that “Corellium’s true goal is profiting off its blatant infringement. Far from assisting in fixing vulnerabilities, Corellium encourages its users to sell any discovered information on the open market to the highest bidder.”that claimed that vulnerabilities found in iOS was sold off to the highest bidder, thereby creating “An Apple Hacker’s Paradise”.
