In what other countries than America would this sort of thing work? (Not a rhetorical question.)

Germany and tam tam tam Apfelkind won! https://www.dw.com/en/german-caf%C3%A9-owner-takes-on-apple-...

Ok, you're right, it didn't worked, but Apple tried.

Seems that in Germany too Apple was able to make the decision to resist quite risky. So maybe the question should be: is there any country where the target would be better protected and wouldn't have to risk so much to resist?

"...that without the media attention, Apple might have behaved differently."

This seems to be the important bit.

I also wonder how much of this there's a lot to do with a rot system where you have too much lawyers and giving they need to make money as anyone else, the judicial system have loopholes that can gamed, turning into this game that leads nowhere but keep going because its cash cow to so many people (I mean, how is this different from how mobs opperate in the underworld).

Later when the whole thing is rot beyiond control theres no way you can fight the system anymore, even if you are powerful and have the inclination to do it..

I pity real lawyers (the ones that have integrity and do it also because its their passion)
