Are you talking about Netflix?
- ascagnel_ 6y agoI'm unaware of any current legal action Netflix is taking against Apple.
- senko 6y agoThat's not what the parent said.
- pwinnski 6y agoI listed three conditions: "[1] violated the policies and then [2] filed a lawsuit and [3] started an extensive PR campaign" Netflix arguably did the first, but I don't recall them doing either of the other two things.
- ProAm 6y agoBecause they were not kicked from the app store for doing so.
- misnome 6y agoCome on, I don't think anyone is pretending that this wasn't a deliberate provocation by Epic
- arcticbull 6y agoI guess so, but so what? Deliberately provoking a potentially illegal act to litigate it is fair game. It doesn't legitimize the move by Apple, nor does it invalidate Epic's claim. If they want to play high-stakes poker, they better have good attorneys, but that's life in the American judicial system.
- misnome 6y agoBut... it does describe the difference between Netflix, which is what the thread is about?
- damnyou 6y agoSuffering a harm is how one gets standing to sue.
- naikrovek 6y agoSuffering harm is how one sues and wins, yes. Anyone can sue for anything and quickly lose, but to have any hope of winning, you must be harmed.
- burnte 6y agoIt was an invitation for Apple to screw up. They could have just banned the app. Instead they went full nuclear. Apple stepped in the trap.
