As an Australian with Apple products, I really hope Apple pulls out of the market. Some large entity definitely needs to take a stand.

In this specific case, I hope that's the outcome. But in the general case, I hope we don't end up in a world where global megacorps have that much sway over governments (maybe we're in that world already...)

I don't think it is necessarily the sway of corporations as much as the sway of the citizens. If Apple got out of Australia it could cause a lot of media attention which could get citizens riled up, especially if they could no longer get Apple products.

All they'd really have to do is announce that they are considering it. Just write up an analysis and stick it on their website. The world will notice, immediately. How many hours do you think it would take before it was a major news story everywhere?
