Epic Games v. Apple judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers just ruled that, effective immediately, Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside apps and blocks the company from restricting how developers can point users to where they can make purchases outside of apps.

. .

The judge also referred the case to the US attorney to review it for possible criminal contempt proceedings.

I don't understand what that has to do with anything? It doesn't cost either of them anything to enforce a ruling the court already made.

To be clear, I'm not defending anyone here...

Apple likely delayed it multiple times.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They delayed the enforcement of a ruling? I don't think even they have that power.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

sure they can, all they had to do was ignore the ruling

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't delay the enforcement of the ruling.

The enforcement outlined in the OP?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

No what I am asking you is what evidence of enforcement do you see anywhere here?

Apple was ordered by the courts to do something, they blatantly ignored it and doubled down. At no point it seems the courts were enforcing their initial ruling. It took the defendants to bring this back to court again. What's stopping Apple from not doing anything and ignoring the courts again?

No what I am asking you is what evidence of enforcement do you see anywhere here?

The evidence I see is the article linked in the OP.

It took the defendants to bring this back to court

If that happened, it's absent from the article in the OP.

There is clearly NO enforcement in there... maybe we think "enforcement" are different things here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know how you can not see enforcement. It's in the headline of the article.

"Judge in Epic v. Apple bans Apple from charging commission on purchases made outside App Store"

That is what the judge ordered, who is forcing Apple to comply? forcing them to follow the ruling is the definition of "enforcement", not the ruling itself

And the reason I am second guessing is that the court had already ruled against Apple and they just ignored that and doubled down on the bad behaviour

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

who is forcing Apple to comply?

The...judge?

Whatever, this is a dumb argument.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

is it? because we are talking about the difference between a lawful society and anarchy.

Looks like you don't understand the point and now are getting defensive. Have a nice day bud

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yes that's definitely what's happening and not that you don't understand and are trying to do a "gotcha" for internet points.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Internet points?... sorry, I did not realize you were 12

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry, was I the one making dumb arguments for no reason? Oh no, that was you. And now you've further devolved to childish insults so you're going to be blocked. Goodbye.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Oh no!... anyways
