Compiler Error

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: Apple Antitrust Cases!
1 - In its first antitrust case, Apple Computer was sued in 1997 by publishing houses for not licensing its MacOS system software to run on other compatible hardware at the time.
2 - Apple was sued in 2005 for allegedly operating a music-downloading monopoly through iTunes and the iPod music player, preventing RealNetworks music from playing on iPods.
3 - Just a few months after the original iPhone was released, Apple was sued in a case that lasted until 2019 partly over the fact that the just-released device could not run third-party apps.
4 - After only a year and a half of litigation, Apple was found guilty in a case where there was compelling evidence that they played a central role to eliminate retail competition.
