Very blatantly trying to circumvent the spirit of the law. Nothing a lawsuit for 10% of global annual revenues can't solve, though. I truly hope the EU puts down the law here and let Apple know how the find out-phase of their little gambit feels.
- sircastor 3y agoDoes anyone do anything but comply with the letter of the law? I think most companies do their best to continue doing business the way they have been. Most entities will take the path that benefits them the most. The law can't (and shouldn't) dictate ethics or morality. The spirit of the law is undefined, it's abstract and ambiguous. If an entity isn't judged for obeying the letter of the law, how can we have faith that we'll all be treated fairly? It's easy to call foul when its someone you don't like doing something you don't like. If a compliance law doesn't result in the compliance we desire, the law was poorly written.
- shortsunblack 3y agoSpirit of the law is defined. It's the first handful of sentences of any European regulation. And courts can and do rule in favour of lesser parties. If the legislature has made a clerical mistake in writing the law, the court can disregard the mistake (a technicality) and rule in the lines of the spirit of the law.
