I completely missed the poor consistency from the "I would rather" comment above. I would also prefer my data deleted and not stolen, but had to read your comment to realize there is no evidence to suggest that. It is funny how much I assume being at least partially aware of my ignorance of the topic.

“They are doing it too” is legally a valid excuse. The way legal disputes get settled usually is based on the outcome of precedent legal cases and how they relate to the current case. Your moral outrage (and the outrage caused by paradise papers type reports) is just a failure to see the world for what it is. An ant can complain all day about the size of the mammoth, complain that it’s unfair that it’s got a fur coat or that it’s one step is equivalent to hundreds of ant steps, but this won’t change reality. This is how success works: if you do it for so long and in such a way comparable to Apple, you are able to have more leg room than other ants. My only criticism of Apple is that do portray themselves as very humble engineers that love designing beautiful products. Engineers who have any experience designing software and hardware products have a deep admiration for Apple as an organization, specifically because we know exactly how much work goes into a working product, moreso because Apple’s products, even though they are not perfect, show a high level of resiliency both in the market and in our day to day lives.

Admitting thus that at least some of the people and companies that hide their money in tax havens made their money in a legitimite way (we’ll get into this later), don’t you think they are entitled to try to save as much of it as they can? The author of the piece makes reference to the mostly public educational system which implies Apple has some social reaponsibility to give back to it’s country. How about the high salaries that Apple pays to its engineers? Isn’t this enough to show that they value craftmanship?
