I find it hard to believe that they had no idea how long Apple would fight them in court vs. how long another entity would take to get this to this stuff before they pulled the trigger to go after Apple.

Hey, you know a lot more about it than me. Why take Apple to court in the first place, why have this story in the news like this at all? It is absolutely amazing that cellebwhatever did it so fast or what?

I don't think they expected Apple to refuse to do what they demanded. But they waited more than two months before they went to court. They had the iPhone by the end of the first week in December. . . but it was February 19th that they got the court order. Two and a half months later.

I don’t buy that they didn’t know Apple’s position vs how long it would actually take to get it from someone else. How does what happened in public make sense? They had no idea that celebsustar was the best case scenario for them? It was some sort of miracle that happened in the window of getting Apple to comply?
