Wrong precedent to set. Now all the American money grabbers/leaches will start a class-action suit and demand a whole lot more (for absolutely nothing).

I wonder how the Korean court determined any significant personal information was even kept. As far as not getting permission, if Kim had read everything (which I doubt anybody reads) he would have seen that the tracking information isn’t personal but we have enough lawyers to tell him otherwise.

As for the graphic, it would look better if you used nine $100’s, two $20s, and four $1 to show how meaningless the fine was instead of showing a large stack of money. The lawyers and court probably got most of it so Kim can now purchase a few songs while leaving location services turned on so his iPhone is usable.

He is a lawyer. I wonder how much of this is politics, business politics, to help Korea’s smart phone industry.

Harry,

I highly doubt this has anything to do with “helping” Korea’s smart phone industry.

South Korea has had the most advanced mobile industry in the world for quite some time. They beat the pants off of AT&T and the iPhone.

Jeff, You’re quick! Did you break your piggy bank to get those?

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korean_won and get the real stuff. Using 50K won notes (don’t have the Korean keyboard to include the proper double slashed W), you’d only need to stack 20 of them.
