It must be all too available on eBay and other Internet platforms, so much so that for voice collection of the law firm Bird & Bird Apple would have thundered against one of these dealers and asking 25,000 euros damages plus interest, in addition of course to notice the destruction of clones and the compensation of legal fees, amounting to 13,500 euros.
