Apple isn't any different, and they are required to follow all current laws just as every other corporation and individual.
They broke the law, they were legally tried and convicted of the crime, and must now pay the penalty.
You don't have to like it PWalker, you can debate it till the cows come home but it won't change a thing. You try breaking a law that you don't believe in and see how far you get in telling the judge that you don't believe in it therefore, you decided it doesn't apply to you and see how far you get.
You can try twisting and turning all the facts to suit YOUR point of view all you want, but the actual facts are public record and that is what they were convicted by. Whether they think they are guilty or not does not matter.
Why don't you trying talking to a real lawyer/judge and get their opinion. Because your armchair lawyering opinions aren't worth any more than the lame excuses that Apple gave for breaking the law.
