UK Court of Appeal Reprimands Apple Over Mandated Samsung Statement
Macthorpe writes "In the UK, Apple were previously ordered to add a statement to their website stating that Samsung did not copy their designs, following a previous case where this was ruled by the UK courts. However, today the same court revealed that Apple's statement is not good enough. From the article: 'The acknowledgement put up last week, linked from the home page by a tiny link, was deemed to be "non-compliant" with the order that the court had made in October. The court has now ordered it to correct the statement – and the judges, Lord Justice Longmore, Lord Justice Kitchin and Sir Robin Jacob, indicated that they were not pleased with Apple's failure to put a simpler statement on the site.' It appears the main objection is the statement is on a separate page and only linked from the hompage — and that the statement is buried in marketing blurb, and also put next to references to a case Apple won."
Common fucking sense. If I have a restraining order that says that I can't get within 100 feet of someone, the court isn't going to give two dicks if I claim that I was 101 away when I was stalking them. That's how it fucking works.
Apple is run by childish, arrogant, and idiots if they thought that the court will let this fly.
