Re: something the government did that is so crazy They're making a big deal out of this because:1. Apple's already under antitrust scrutiny.2. One Plus is a big competitor.And you probably know the rest.

Re: something the government did that is so crazy
Re: something the government did that is so crazy yeah, sure, but the thing is--the government really doesn't favor companies. In fact that's the problem. The government doesn't go "you're a small company, here's a pass". it's the same for everyone. So all the big companies that have money can use these systems because they have money, and all the small companies can't because they don't. In this case both companies seem large enough that that difference probably doesn't matter, but if you actually want this to be better, the irony is that the government would actually have to explicitly favor companies. Or abolish most of our IP law, whichever, but favoring companies is honestly much more likely to happen as a fix.I don't know where you got the idea that the government is going "Yay, Apple, our friend", but wherever it's from, they left you with some odd ideas about how shipping goods across international borders works. Even personal mail to a friend just sometimes doesn't get there when you do that, it's not like domestic shipping, everything can and will get opened at random, and if there's even the tiniest chance that it's not legal they err on the side of "haha sorry, it'll take you 2 months to get this back". In so far as apple can do something, it's that they have the resources to file all the right paperwork with all the right people, but frankly, if I knew a shipment was coming into the U.S. from somewhere and I had enough information I could block it if I didn't mind breaking the law, just by claiming it contains drugs or something. It's really not hard to get a shipment seized. There's a reason that when you order from Canada, shipping goes from $10 to $50 or more, and it's not that the cars have to travel further.

Re: something the government did that is so crazy @4 @5 and @6 heh, I never known that was a form of trolling. I will have to read about this stuff deeper to get a better understanding of how things are done.

Re: something the government did that is so crazy @5 is correct. When taking just that article into consideration, everything was done by the book. There was nothing in that article that said that they broke those rules or anything like that. Not sure why anyone would make a big deal out of this.

Re: something the government did that is so crazy
Re: something the government did that is so crazy Still not sure why this has anything to do with favoring Apple. They wouldn't have handled any other company differently. if you don't understand that I recommend looking into how patent and trademark trolling works.This is typical. Your stuff gets seized and then the government tells you your stuff was seized and then it's up to you to say "no actually" or whatever. The government isn't going to let any shipments for anything through and then reach out to you after and say "hey, so you're kind of violating trademarks but here's a freebie, please don't do it again". They're going to take your stuff and then you have to get in touch with CBB and appeal. This is a regular part of doing international business irregardless of country, and I'm not even sure why it made it to the news. If they'd already done a bunch of appealing and still got told no, then maybe it'd be newsworthy.

Re: something the government did that is so crazy Er, so what? They seize lots and lots and lots of things all the time. What does this have to do with favoring Apple?
