Judge Tosses iMessage Lawsuit

Dec 23, 2015, 10:02 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Apple will not have to face a lawsuit over its iMessage service because the case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh. Several consumers sued Apple in 2014, claiming that Apple prevented text messages from reaching Android phones once people switched away from an iPhone. The bug was notorious and impacted many people, but Apple resolved the issue in November 2014 with a web site that lets people disassociate their number from iMessage. The plaintiffs said Apple was violating the Federal Wire Tap Act, but Judge Koh disagreed.

Is anyone surprised

that Lucy Koh sided with Apple in a lawsuit? If she's not the epitome of a corrupt judge, there never has been one.
