Apple orders products offline in Japan
ENEMY OF THE FREE PRESS Apple has ordered Japanese websites to stop flogging its products cheap online.
Apparently Japanese consumer electronics discount stores were having a field day flogging Ipods, Imacs and other Apple toys.
What angered Jobs Mob was that they were daring to sell the gear at discounted prices, which is in complete opposition to the Apple way.
After all if Apple's products are cheap then ordinary people can afford them and they will be compared with real computers, and then where will Apple be?
According to the Japanese news outlet Nikkei, some Japanese online retailers have indicated that they are dropping cut-price Apple gear because they have been approached by Jobs' Mobs' black shirts.
Yodobashi Camera have posted a notice at its online store saying it has stopped selling Apple products over the Internet out of respect for the US company's wishes. It said it can't sell such products unless customers visit its stores in person. µ

I'd really like to see how were they going to sue retailers, because that is the only way to stop sales.
Or maybe Apple was going to cut their supply line?
Well, who cares anyway, Japanese are better off with some real equipment.
