Even after a screenshot showing where it was, I had trouble finding it. The
Register's news story had a screenshot of Apple's homepage with the link
highlighted, so I knew exactly where it should be.
It seems that Apple isn't using geolocation, and isn't putting the notice on
it's international website.
I looked at www.apple.com on my laptop, in an office in London, England. The
link wasn't there, and the "choose your country or region" was showing
a US flag.
I looked at www.apple.com on my phone (Android on the office's wifi), and again
there was a US flag and no link.
I reloaded the page over cellular data (on O2 UK's 3G network), and again there
was a US flag and no link.
I looked at www.apple.com on my PC at home (again in England), and again there
was a US flag and no link.
I looked at www.apple.co.uk on my PC at home, and finally the link was there.
But the URL bar showed that I had been redirected to

Looks like the font size of greater than 14 point is not being followed on the
UK site. Below is the CSS that is being used
.sosumi ul.piped, .sosumi .copyright {
font-size: 11px;

Missed out this tidbit. 11px=8point. 19px=14point.
Almost half of required size.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Apple messed around with the order regarding linking.
The court's decision
could be linked and not included in the notice. Apple linked the notice and
titled it "Samson/Apple court decision" and slipped it in at the bottom
of the page. The font size is smaller than ordered for the notice, but then
the link is not the notice. Tricky!
This is not going to fly if
questioned before the UK court
Apple's lawyers seem to be giving the
company some bold advice about what they can get away with.
Bad PR can
work in a "positive" way with celebrities.
Corporations can only take so
much negative publicity before it starts to tarnish the brand.
But maybe
Apple has transformed from a corporation into a celebrity?
