Their stunt (or lucky accident, maybe) totally fails if you visit
www.apple.co.uk with lynx. The only meaningful text on the first screen besides
section links and stuff is the legal notice and the link to the details. Lynx FTW! --- (c) assigned to PJ

If this goes back to the Appeal judges, I would not want to be Apple's lawyers
and UK senior officers. Her Majesty has some board and lodging establishments
which are not of the class those folks would like.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Why are some American companies so stupid? It can certainly not be anything in
the air.

Despite protests to the contrary, the JavaScript in question has been on many of
their sites for *ages*. Since before any version of this court order even
*existed*, actually.
The most likely explanation is a matter of their different-country sites being
on slightly different versions of the site code, and the update to the UK site
(to include the required legal text) simply pushing out the most recent version
of the site code to that site as well.
But, hey, I guess the anti-Apple brigade can't be bothered to investigate
*anything* past the point where it can be construed negatively toward Apple.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Also they are trying to hide it from international visitors
to the UK site. Try typing in "www.apple.co.uk" and you
get a web page without the link.
And you still have to scroll down to see it's missing,
despite the rest of the page being nearly empty...
Uh-oh, it's the principal's secretary at the classroom door,
quick hide the cookies...
