AppleInsider said: Apple at the time objected, saying that the EU had failed "to uncover any credible evidence of consumer harm." Why would they bother to provide such evidence? The law isn't about preventing "consumer harm", because ther…

Once again, what Apple is doing now isn't as relevant as what Apple did then. Without commenting on the merits of the case the DOJ thinks it has (about which I know no more than most here, and less than many), if Apple committed violations of law w…

Without speaking on the merits of DOJ's case, about which I know little to nothing, if Apple violated the law then, they're still liable for those violations, irrespective of what they've done to fix them since. You don't get a free pass on past cr…

I can't help but wonder why Apple would locate research facilities in a country that has a such lackluster record of protecting IP. Is the cost of doing it there that much less expensive as to make it worth it?
