So I will never buy anything from that court again. And from USPTO for that matter. And from US legislators. As for Apple—I enjoy using their products and I enjoy developing for iOS. As for Google—as I get older I start to hate ads more and more. I want to pay myself for the products I buy and use. A little more privacy is a nice side effect of that. So yep, I will vote with my wallet.

That's a bit extreme, but totally fine. And will save you a lot since i know Apple pays well thanks to their hold on some markets.

Lots of people refuse to pay taxes for similar reasons.

just don't do it before trying other methods, like writing to your representatives and all that.
