> What happens if the manufacturer decides to be unreasonable, by saying that no industry standard of certification is acceptable, or just the one organization they founded themselves, or that sort of thing, is that they get a sharply-worded letter from the Oregon DA That assumes that the Oregon DA isn't collecting a bunch of campaign funds, gifts, etc from Apple in which case the DA will do nothing and taking apple to court yourself will likely end in a loss since our legal system is often pay to win and apple can out-spend you. >If a CEO ordered a company to do the sort of thing you're proposing, it would be against the advice of council. CEOs often break the law because they (and their council) know the risks of getting caught are small and/or that if they are caught the worst punishment they'll face is a fine which won't come anywhere close to the amount of money they'll make by breaking the law. Generally, it's a good thing that laws are subject to interpretation by humans and not treated like code written for machines because we want flexibility, but without enough oversight and accountability that doesn't work out so well for us either.
