Hate to say it but i'm sure Apple are paying every penny they are legally obligated to as defined in law.

This is a global regulatory issue which no country or union is big enough to solve solo.

It is not always the case that law makers had the intention to create most loopholes (sometimes they do) which are being exploited. You are technically correct but it might still be morally wrong.

Technically they didn't which is why they're having to pay money back to Ireland, they did pay the money they were asked to pay though.

Agreed its a global regulatory issue though.
