You know what's been a great experience? Trying to quit Apple+. Took seconds to set up an account on my TV and weeks to cancel. Filled a complaint with my state AG.

Cancel the card if you can

I disputed the charge every month for about three months. Turns out you need an apple device to reset your apple password or wait weeks for an arbitrary email to verify your account. I don't own a single apple device, but my LG TV had Apple+.

They claimed that the FTC never alerted them to any wrongdoing before filing the lawsuit, so how could they have known they were violating the law?

"The police never informed me I was doing anything illegal before arresting me, so how could I possibly have known?"

Ignorance of the law isn't a defense against breaking it in any other sector...

Ethical behavior is a thing for SO many reasons. One of them is it tends to keep you on the right side of the law.

I'm sure their legions of lawyers never warned them it might be illegal

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

I'm sure they did, but they felt that this was more profitable, even if they got caught.
