> Apple have not just followed the law as written
I think they have followed the law as written. Some people just don't like how it was written and some of the effects caused by how it was written.

Can you help me understand the difference?
What law(s) have they violated? Have they "just violated them" or just "violated them"?
When you said, "I think they have followed the law as written." it sounds like you are challenging a claim that they haven't followed the law as written, but that wasn't the intent of the sentence. More clear? No laws were violated.
