    Yeah that’s why EU should take a cut of that profit because is behaving in bad faith. Governments allow this, why?

      The EU just fined Apple half a billion Euros and has imposed larger fines in the past.

          Your point seems to be that the fine is about two days profit.

          If you did something illegal and got fined two days pay for it, that would probably get your attention. You might think twice before doing the thing again. If not, the EU can fine them a larger amount next time.
