Apple Fined By Italy For Misleading Customers About Warranty Terms 218
beaverdownunder writes "An Italian watchdog has fined Apple 900,000 euros ($1.2m, £750,000) for failing to inform Italian shoppers of their legal right to two years of technical support, recognizing instead only a one-year standard warranty. This had led people to pay extra for Apple's own support service, AppleCare, which overlapped with the government-mandated guarantee."

It's almost a form of taxation. Apple takes Italian fanboi moneys, then the government fines Apple.
The real question is whether Apple comes out ahead or behind after the fine.
