Apple is a lot worse than merely 'isn't blameless'. They knew perfectly well what they were getting into and I'm confident that the current judgment would have been a scenario that their lawyers would have explored.
I'm sure that if Apple thinks that they have been hard done by that they could sue the Irish government for damages in the Irish courts.
- noirbot 2y agoI mean, don't you see how that's bad though? Ireland gets to just lie to people, promise them things, profit from their lies and then their courts get to decide if they were wrong? Also, everyone's stating with a lot of confidence that Apple absolutely knew this was illegal under EU law. Is that in evidence in the case? Have there been other prosecutions of other EU states for doing this?
- stale2002 2y agoNo, its not bad because it means that companies will be hesitant to do stuff like this in the future.
