> Contrary to what you seem to believe Please stop doing this. That is not even close to what he said. "Some people" do that? Not a controversial statement, and pretending otherwise is to argue in bad faith.

Everyone in Ireland [and almost everyone else] seems to be under the impression that this is what just happened with the CJEU ruling last week. But it's not. Ireland, since the mid-1980s, has been offering Apple (and ONLY Apple) a bes
