    They need to be reigned in, but this isn’t gonna do it. The DOJ is arguing stupid shit and shit that isn’t accurate. What we need is regulation, not shitty attempts at weak lawsuits. DOJ even refers to Apple’s plan to allow alternative stores in Europe as though that was won through a lawsuit. No, dummies. It was legislation.

      I don’t disagree that legislation might be preferable, although even that would still have to be filtered through the courts for interpretation. But we all know that getting this — indeed any — legislation out of Washington isn’t possible. So suits based on existing law is the next best thing.
