Real Audio has employed proprietary tactics of such an ugly magnitude for so long, they are just a pot calling the kettle black. Real has pioneered the dirty tricks of deceiving you into signing up and spending your money on them, forcing you to eat their advertising, assaulting you with software that won't go away like shit sticks to a blanket. Real invented hijacking protocols.
But I'm certainly no fan of Apple, or Mac, They are just proprietary price gouging snake oil salesmen, whose following is loyalists stuck back at 1982 thinking Mac is the only setup with a Graphic User Interface
