I think the judge was looking at the publicity that Apple had brought on about
the lawsuit.
Apple should have used the words like "allegedly" and "Pending
the courts decision."
When it comes to freedom of speech (something I believe very strongly in), I
don't view Apple's response as an exercise of that freedom. Instead, I see it
as a rebellious and arrogant disrespect for the UK court system.
I see Apple as too proud to publicly admit that the things that they have
publicly claimed have amounted to nothing more than a PR attack on it's
competitor. I see Apple as too proud (and too childish) to admit when they are
wrong. I see Apple as irresponsible, and if they are this irresponsible when it
comes to complying with a court order, why should I expect them to be
responsible when it comes to supporting their products when it comes to their
customers?
Disclaimer: My views are mine own, and THIS is an exercise of freedom of
speech.

Yes that would have been a much simpler ruling to make, but really I think
forcing them to publish this was more effective. Apple, Microsoft and other
partners have been working to downgrade Googles, Androids, and Samsungs
reputations. Can you really think of a more effective way for the judge to hit
them back then force them to downgrade their own reputation? Also this ruling
made more of a statement, plenty of money is going to be transferred both ways
in these law-suits, that's obvious, transferring a bit more would have just been
another Apple lost story in the news, no one cares really, but this ruling was
unique, and therefore people are paying attention to it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
