They claimed that the FTC never alerted them to any wrongdoing before filing the lawsuit, so how could they have known they were violating the law?
“The police never informed me I was doing anything illegal before arresting me, so how could I possibly have known?”
Ignorance of the law isn’t a defense against breaking it in any other sector…
I’m sure their legions of lawyers never warned them it might be illegal
I’m sure they did, but they felt that this was more profitable, even if they got caught.
It can be. There’s a saying that intent is 9/10 of the law.
But, they definitely intended to fuck people over, so that’s a moot point.
Ethical behavior is a thing for SO many reasons. One of them is it tends to keep you on the right side of the law.
That’s literally the basis of qualified immunity. If law enforcement gets a pass explicitly due to ignorance of the law, why wouldn’t their financiers? Further, if the punishment for the crime is a fine, then the law can only ever meaningfully punish the poor. The concept of law is working exactly as intended in this country.
That’s not what qualified immunity means.
Qualified immunity protects the police (or other state actors) from civil suits arising from their conduct while lawfully performing their duties. It does not shield them from criminal prosecution.
Note how they literally have a special exception
You know what’s been a great experience? Trying to quit Apple+. Took seconds to set up an account on my TV and weeks to cancel. Filled a complaint with my state AG.
Cancel the card if you can
I disputed the charge every month for about three months. Turns out you need an apple device to reset your apple password or wait weeks for an arbitrary email to verify your account. I don’t own a single apple device, but my LG TV had Apple+.
How the fuck can they require you to have an apple device to reset the password?!?
My favorite is when they send a 2fa prompt to your phone when you’re trying to use find my iPhone
Actually find my is specifically excluded from the 2fa requirement. There may be a prompt but you can proceed to the find my iPhone screen without the code.
Apple loves to do that kind of shit.
For instance, you can’t factory reset an iPhone without connecting it to either an OSX computer, or a PC running their special program. Don’t ask me what’s wrong with just holding down power and volume up, or whatever. Like every other phone on Earth can do.
For instance, you can’t factory reset an iPhone without connecting it to either an OSX computer, or a PC running their special program.
This is patently untrue. Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone. You have the option from there to wipe all data, do a full factory reset, or transfer the phone’s data to another device.
I’ve no idea where you’re getting your info from.
Try it if you’ve been locked out due to too many PIN attempts.
Stop trying to reset stolen iPhones then, IDK what to tell you
Do you? I don’t own any apple device but I was able to reset the password on my very old account to use apple tv+ on my LG TV
Lmao no they won’t
I still haven’t consented to the 2.99 price hike to no have commercials. I will wait until the lawsuit runs its course because fuck em.
I just started pirating Amazon shows, fuck em if they bait and switch me.
Piracy and iptv is back on the menu
How about the whole “sure you already paid for a year of Prime Video, but now you need to pay us again or we’re going to ruin the thing you already paid for” situation?
mayshouldI’ll say this: Grabbed a free month of Prime through Google Play. Went to cancel it before it charged me again and I had so much trouble figuring out how I decided that I couldn’t be the only one and ended up Googling it.
You couldn’t quit in the Google Play Store. It wasn’t even listed.
It wasn’t any form of subscription or listed as a membership on Amazon.
You couldn’t end it by following QR codes or links supplied to you on Amazon itself.
It wasn’t in your Amazon profile or Google profile.
The ONLY WAY to cancel it was by scanning the QR code, following the link, clicking on a “Contact Support” button, clicking on another button under “Help Topics” that said, “How to end your Prime Membership”, and finally you were taken to a page where you could actually end it. Obfuscated like a motherfucker.
But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.
