Is Apple making over €500m in profit in the EU specifically as a result of anticompetitive practices involving music?
I’m all for punishing white collar crime severely, but the goal for the EU seems to be to set the fines so they’re not especially punitive, but still high enough that the offender would have saved money by just playing by the rules. That’s a damn sight better than what we usually get in the US.
Not enough, this is toll tax for them.

fines will get bigger if Apple doesn’t correct its “anticompetitive practices”
