No no no no. I'm making the argument that if the people of Ohgodplsnoistan pass a law that forbids Apple to sell their phone for anything above $200, that is legal. And that Apple can either cry and sell to my population of two people, or exit this market. In the same way, the government of Plsnoistan decides what is a legal license and what is not. Hell, I can pass a law that requires Apple to give out a free cookie to anyone buying one of their phones.
The point of all this is, Apple has absolutely no say in any of this. They are free to set the terms of their sales according to the law in the country, and that is it. It doesn't get anything more.
- simondotau 5y agoI think we agree? I'm confused. Here's what I wrote a few posts up, I'm not sure how this disagrees with what you said just now: > > > Are you suggesting that regulators can force Apple to give away their stuff for free if they want to participate in that market? It seems your answer is yes.
