Well they already got one, got the decision. Behaviour of the involved book companies, all of them, shows they are aware what they did wasn't right. It doesn't look good for Apple. They are just using every possibility to keep this going.
It definitely doesn't look good and if they are guilty then there is no question they should receive the appropriate punishment. However, that is very different to denying them access to the legal process which seems seems to be what done are advocating here.
So what are you saying? They should be denied access to the legal process? Do you think Apple should be treated differently to any other company?
And what did you mean when you said they had been told to pay up when the amount has not even been set. Or did you just hook onto the headline?
Obama's administration has overturned an import ban on Apple products as you well know! So don't go through the poor Apple shouldn't be treated differently routine as clearly they are treated differently
The amount may change given Apples bad attitude they may end up paying more.
The second circuit appeals court said the damages-setting trial on 14 July should go ahead since the iPad maker had failed to “meet the requisite standard” to get it put on hold.
Apple may think they are a law unto themselves but they may find themselves in contempt of court if they keep this up.
Apple have agreed an out of court settlement for an as yet undisclosed sum. However Apple will continue its appeal. So it looks like they are just being twisted as usual.
Supreme Court declines appeal - Apple have to pay $450 Million

Apple made an $18 billion profit on their turnover of $76 billion in the last quarter of 2015, so this fine won't make a huge impact. I suspect their shares will suffer for a while though.

That's why they behave like bullies, they have enough money to wait out any case and if everything fails it won't ruin them.
