Re: The end of Apple
You're totally missing the point. It may indeed translate into lost profit for Apple, but on no account should anyone, least of all Apple, presume that a Judge will consider that to be the most important issue being considered. So far they haven't, or else this order would not be getting argued about. Judges balance issues, that's their job, and so far they've decided that money loses.
Apple's approach to dealing with it is quite fraught with danger. By saying (more loudly this time) that money does matter they're arguing that law-n-order matters less. That's not going to sit particularly well with a Judge.
Fine. Now tell me where Apple lays down the money argument, because that's really not an issue for Apple other than an inevitable side effect of being publicly forced to become a government informant as if all of this was happening in former East Germany as opposed to in a nation that stubbornly wants to cling on to the illusion that they uphold democratic principles.
