Chinese court orders Apple to pay $165,000 for a copyright violation

0. phoneArena posted on 27 Dec 2012, 18:24

Although it sounds like a fortune, the 1.03 million Yuan that a Chinese court has forced Apple to pay some writers for a copyright violation in the country, is equivalent of $165,000 which is a small drop in the bucket for a company like Apple that has amassed more money in its vault than the GDP of some small countries...

Apple is guilty alright apple took a cut of 30% from the gang of thieves. A major stake holder in their gang operation.

It's a simple misunderstanding.

Yeah, a simple misunderstanding like we don't understand your name.
You sound like Jobs!!
That's what's wrong with you hard core Apple fans! You don't even want to acknowledge the fault Apple made even if it's right in front of your eyes... Be a fan if you want to, but know that the company you support can be at fault too.

""always updating our service to better assist content owners in protecting their rights.""

When in reality I read: always updating our service terms to better pass the blame onto anyone and everyone else

You can try to disprove me all you want, but its pretty damn clear: ""the tech giant purportedly told the group to contact the developers behind the apps if they had a problem with them""...

SOUNDS LIKE A BIG-FAT NOT-ME GHOST!

While I certainly enjoy seeing apple getting what it deserves, $165k is pocket change to them.

This fine is like giving a 36 year old man a five second time out while watching his favorite TV show.
