Epic v Apple: Peeling Back the Lawyers (Day 6) (VL466)
515"Epic vs Apple" has finally arrived and as Tim Sweeney now famously said we're in for some "fireworks"!
On day six of the trial, things get a bit...weird. From naked bananas to deep dives on Fortnite creative mode, the "relevant market" often appears to be confusion and blind alleys.
Even a courtroom has "Mondays"...in Virtual Legality.
