Apple in a Pickle! Judge Says 'Show Me the Legal Authority!'

Like Peas and Carrots... or Apple and Fortnite?

Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get. Well lately it seems like Apple got a box full of legal lemons with this here Fortnite situation. See they kinda took Fortnite off their App Store back in 2020 and now the judge she's not too happy 'bout Apple draggin' their feet on puttin' it back. It's like when Bubba wouldn't stop talkin' 'bout shrimp just went on and on. Only this time it's judges and lawyers not shrimp nets.

Run Forrest Run... to Court!

This Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers she's got her hands full. She's tellin' Apple they gotta figure this out or else someone's gonna have to show up in court. And not just anyone but the person responsible! I reckon that's like when Lieutenant Dan made me run everywhere. 'Forrest run to the store!' 'Forrest run to the post office!' Only now it's 'Apple executive run to the courthouse!' I hope they have comfy shoes.

Apple's Got a Case of the Mondays... and Maybe More?

Mr. Tim Sweeney the head honcho at Epic Games (that's the folks who make Fortnite) he said Apple's just ignorin' their requests. It's like when I tried to explain to Jenny how much I loved her and she just looked right through me. Ouch! The judge lady's sayin' that Apple needs to 'splain themselves and quick! She wants to know why they think they can just ignore what she says. Sounds like somebody needs a good ol' lesson in respect like when I taught those ping pong players a thing or two.

Stupid is as Stupid Does... Ignoring Court Orders!

Now I ain't a lawyer but even I know you gotta listen to the judge! She's sayin' the court's been waitin' on Apple to do somethin' and they ain't done nothin'. It's been twelve days which in lawyer time is probably like a whole year. She wants Apple to show her the legal paper that says they can just ignore her. I bet that paper is as hard to find as a peaceful day in Vietnam.

We Were Always a Good Company! Or Were We?

Remember that time Apple took Fortnite off the App Store 'cause they didn't like how Epic was payin' folks? Well that started this whole mess. It's like when Bubba and me started the shrimp business. We had a good thing goin' but sometimes things just get... complicated. Now the judge is sayin' that one of Apple's bigwigs wasn't bein' exactly honest 'bout some fees. That's a no no folks!

That's All I Have To Say About That... For Now

So there you have it. Apple's in a bit of a pickle with this Fortnite thing. They gotta either play nice with Epic Games or convince the judge they got a good reason for bein' stubborn. Me? I'm just gonna sit here on this bench and wait to see what happens. Maybe I'll even write a song about it. 'Apple and Fortnite sittin' in a tree...'. Nah that needs work.
