They trump it in terms of force, not morality or rationality. Apple has every right to do what wants with its property and its speech, so long as they don't infringe on the individual rights of others. That's the meaning of the work their. It indicates possession and therefore, right control.
Like I said, others would disagree.
Your assumption is that Apple, or people in general derive their rights from their government. This is fundamentally impossible. Who put the government there? Individuals. what are politicians? People who, in this country, are elected by individuals. Government cannot be a source of rights, because it doesn't exist in nature. It's not a beginning, it is a result of the ingenuity of individuals. The source of the rights of governments is the individual, and the source of the individuals rights is the fact that they exist as a conscious, rational being. An individual's rights are inherent to their existence. The only legitimate function of government is to secure the rights with which individuals are born. Individuals delegate their right to be free of coercion to the government, and the function of government is to remove people who would initiate force from society. It's not to be the only entity is allowed to initiate force, or the only entity that is allowed to seize ownership/control of private companies for "the public good" or whatever. Individuals do not have the right to seize/control other people's property, therefore they do not have the right to delegate that right to a government they created to do it for them.
Nobody is born with any rights. Government has a monopoly of the legitimate use of violence and force. It is an entity that people have delegated to be a source (and protector) of their rights. As for the issue of eminent domain, seizing land for public use, as I said earlier, many other people would disagree. Some people believe the Government should have the power of eminent domain, others don't. We'll happily disagree.
1. All laws are made up laws.
2. The only legitimate type of law is moral law. I don't have a right to get a majority of people on my side, and elect someone who would pass a law to kill you (or would you consider that moral/just?). No majority has that right, regardless of the law, and no majority has the right to tell Apple what it can or can't do with its property. It belongs to APPLE. NOT the people. Freedom of Speech is APPLE's RIGHT. NOT just when the people decide to permit it.
1. Yes, of course. The difference is laws passed by the Government have validity and legal legitimacy. Your own "moral rights" don't.
2. We'll happily disagree. The law already tells Apple what it cannot do with its property. Just because you don't think it should doesn't make it any less legitimate or that they shouldn't follow those rules.
Again, not in terms of morality. The Anti-trust laws are some of the most evil laws the U.S. has ever come across. Reality and rationality trump bureaucratic/popular whim every time.
Oh boy. Just because you think people should have the right to fix prices, monopolise markets, and abuse market power to the detriment of competition and to consumers doesn't mean that the laws are automatically evil. Many people have differing opinions to that.
It's not an opinion, it's a statement of reality as viewed from an uncompromisingly rational standard of ethics. Many people are wrong.
It is an opinion. Ethics are inherently subjective in nature. You have a different view on how government should work and so do I and many others.
