Oh, I see. "... it is now 6 days since appearance
of the notice and the court
hasn't yet seen fit to invoke
contempt". Thank you.
Of course, while
the original order was six days ago,
the high court's 'redo' instruction was
only yesterday
(Thursday). No contempt order can be filed till Monday (this
isn't criminal contempt, it's indirect civil contempt, hence
Apple being given
48 hours to comply).
After that Apple
can:
- Hide behind
"But I received advice from my lawyer
to do it" (Delay 1),
- Appeal
on the grounds that the original order
didn't insist on the text of the apology
being on the main
homepage, and that page is more difficult to modify (Delay
2)
- Provide the affidavit requested. (Delay 3).
Remember?
'"I would like to see the head of
Apple make an
affidavit setting
out the technical difficulties which means
Apple can’t put this on its site",
Jacob said.'
The judge of course was implying that it
should certainly be
possible. Depending on how bloody-minded Tim Cook is
feeling
he will, I think, be confronted with an affidavit from some
suitable
fall guy web administrator
detailing just why it's not
possible. Then, when a revised
'apology' is in place, it will not be
sufficient. Expect the
resulting argument to extend well past December 14th.
