Because a corporation can arrest, convict, and jail someone...
I think someone might be putting a little too much stock in a cease and desist letter
I think you might be making too many assumptions about the Colombian legal system.
So those things are legal there? Ok
No, what I'm saying is that a quick Google suggests you can get jail time for this in Colombia even if Apple is the one suing. Obviously I'm not an expert, but my point is that Apple's threat of possible jail time is not completely unfounded, you can't assume it just works like the US legal system.
..."but I'm going to argue about the foreign legal system I know nothing about."
At least I attempted to looked it up, rather than everyone else who assumed it just can't happen at all while also knowing nothing about it.
They are not but who cares nothing is going to happened. It took them a while to kill Pablo Escobar now they are going to get this small guy? Lol
