Rulings are one thing for the court, remedies are entirely different and they are usually  bad in the case of tech. The Apple case is an example in that 'anti steering' is something that many of us would agree with. However this judge has placed a value on Apple's IP that allows the App Store to exist...'zero'. I do not agree. It is worth a lot and all the developers know that. Perhaps the smart people at Apple will figure out something to salvage this. An appeal? That will not work here. The judge is angry and the judge is clear. As an aside,  the same issue of remedies will come up with Google which has had 2 rulings against it. We understand the rulings but the remedies that are being suggested?... Break up Google? Sell off Chrome? ... none make sense, but then again, judges are experts in law, not experts in business. Absolutely Apple should have done something concrete about anti steering, and the judge would not have had to wade into remedies that in summary, will harm Apple more than help developers.
