Apple is basically giving the middle finger to the Dutch Authorities. Perfectly inline with their attitude around the world ( apart from China ). And Apple Supporters on Macrumors and 9to5Mac are calling for Apple to pull out of the Netherland. Along with other countries which does not comply with Apple's terms.
I wish there is some sort of Dutch polling group to send out public survey asking the Dutch people:
Apple is the biggest and perhaps the best company in the world, however the Dutch court disagrees with how Apple are charging Dutch business 30% on Apps and Services and given no other choice of payment processor. Should the Dutch Court continue its ruling and authority, Apple may threaten to leave the Netherland which leaves iPhone user with no support and no future Apple product in Netherland.
Netherland is only a small country with 17M population. Even if every single population owns an iPhone it account to less than 1.7% of total iPhone users. A rounding error for the biggest company in the world. Should the Dutch Court continue its proceeding it may ultimately have a negative effect on Dutch citizens. Along with Dutch business without access to Apple's iPhone App Store market.
Should the Dutch court drop the case against Apple? Yes or No.
