@infosec.pubIt doesn’t say anything about specific software. They have to allow you to use third party stores, they don’t have to allow you to download torrent apps so that you can pirate.
There was a time, on Android custom roms, if you had pirated apps installed, they were uninstalled automatically. I see something similar happening here.
I’m not sure you can. Is that person’s account still tied to that device? If so, you have yourself an expensive paperweight.
Apple doesn’t owe you anything. You wanna play fast and loose, move back to Europe, simple.
