Introducing the iLawsuit.
The anger directed at Apple seems to show no sign of abating. What was once two lawsuits has now burgeoned to a whopping eight. Two of which are from Israel and France.
The French lawsuit is of particular interest. It was filed by a French organization called HOP, the acronym translating out to Stop Planned Obsolescence (I’m disappointed it’s not Hommes Omelette Pain – Men Omelette Bread).
They’ve also filed a suit against Epson for roughly similar reasons, as you’d imagine. Planned Obsolescence is not permitted under French law, and can carry a fine of up to 5% of company’s annual sales if they’re found guilty of it.
I’m guessing Apple’s wishing they thought this plan through a bit more than they did.
