Apple Hits Back Against 'Unprecedented' €500m EU Fine, by BBC

Apple is appealing against a €500m (£430m; $586m) fine handed down by EU regulators over alleged anti-competitive behaviour on its App Store.

"As our appeal will show, the [Commission] is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users," Apple said in a statement.

But these ticket sales, which are encouraging for any adult-skewing original film, at least give Apple a reason to stay the course. Oh yeah, it also helps that Apple has a $3 trillion market cap and doesn’t face the same financial pressure of traditional studios.
