What nonsense, the same can be said about just about every other product and retailer out there. Using your logic nothing should ever be on sale because the retailer didn't nothing to create the product. Asinine at its greatest.
My comments relate to eBooks, not physical goods that need to be physically distributed. There is NO need for a complicated supply chain for products that can, and are, distributed electronically. The DoJ case is about as silly as trying to shut down Apple's App Store because software wholesalers and retailers have been cut out of the loop between developers and their customers.
You need to try using your brains, if you have any!
Apple has more money than any of these governments, so now they want a piece of the pie.
The Australian government makes billions on taxation through the mineral wealth of Australia, and they need a small fine from the local Apple?
really?
Apple Australia gave the government(/local) 94million AUD last year (wooo tax). Any fine from the government for illegal activity would be far far lower than this.
What would even a 20million dollar fine mean out of the governmetn income in the ranges over 300billion?
Sure they may be 200billion in debt, but any fine is a drop in the bucket.
Comments
however the stipulation that no one can sell it for less on another online store is where it gets sticky.
This was never stipulated.
It was stipulated that if the item was sold elsewhere at a lower price, the iBookstore could match that price.
Our Tax office doesn't even work with Macs, no elodgement for YOU!
Maybe the ACCC should look into why the tax office requires the use of Windows in order to lodge an electronic tax return.
I agree. Technically it wouldn't be the ACCC, so where should we complain?
