How does that differ from what I wrote? (Answer: it doesn't)
It differs in the strength of the assertion: "is" is definitive;
"may" isn't.
You essentially wrote "Technically that's copyright
infringement ...", where "that's" is a contraction of "that is", and
"is" is making a definitive assertion. We don't know whether it *is*
copyright infringement or not, because we don't know the ownership of
the sound, or even if it has any. Therefore, it *may* be copyright
infringement, with or without the qualifying phrase "unless the owner
of the aforementioned sound file (in this case Apple) says you can",
which further assumes that Apple *is* the sound's copyright owner,
and has not yet been proved.
I do agree that it isn't something we need debate at any length; I
just thought that someone else might be able to locate the previous
statement from Apple on the matter (since I don't recall where it
was). I'm sure there was one, I just can't find it.
It wouldn't matter, unless the person was posting a legally binding
statement, such as a license or permission statement, or a statement
of corporate policy. Personally, I doubt that.
