#Apple's lawyers are arguing that the #interoperability provision in the #DMA harms the company's human rights 😯📖 Our lawyer, Martin Husovec, is now on the podium at @Curia ✊ He is reminding the Court that Apple is being regulated for the public interest and that interoperability and #FreeSoftware cannot be compromised.

📢 "Given that Apple’s product is an ecosystem where value is created not only by Apple, but also by independent external developers and consumers who own the devices, coercing selected gatekeepers’ products into interoperability is entirely legitimate and necessary." - :fsfe: FSFE's lawyer, Martin Husovec(We cannot wait to watch the streaming as it is delayed)

#Apple is claiming before @Curia that #DMA is expropriating their copyrights and patents! 😲 The @EUCommission and the @fsfe stated that Apple has not listed any right. How this can be? 🤔 The Court followed up, but Apple just cannot list any copyright and patent affected by #interoperability!

#Apple is stating at @Curia that the #DMA obligation of "free-of-charge" interoperability imposes enormous burden to their rights. 🫢 FSFE: No, actually Apple has a menu of choices:🔹Use or develop #OpenStandards;🔹use or develop proprietary solutions but refrain from using patents and copyrights to block interoperability; or🔹 not provide these non-interoperable features in the EU market.#FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom
