Spain's antitrust watchdog on Tuesday said it had imposed fines worth a total 194.1 million euros ($218.03 million) on Amazon and Apple for colluding to limit the online sale of devices from Apple and competitors in Spain.
Interesting. Apple & Amazon’s defense argument of ‘stop counterfeits’ essentially contains the subtext of ‘because it was expensive to us, not the consumer’ - considering if you received a counterfeit product it likely wasn’t a hassle to get Amazon to refund it (and presumably by that time the seller had jogged on, and Amazon couldn’t get their money back).
