Brazil’s antitrust regulator Cade has ruled that Apple must lift restrictions on in-app purchases within 20 days, Reuters reports. Otherwise, if the iPhone maker doesn’t comply, it faces fines of $43,000 per day.

Uh, how much do they make per day under the current arrangement?

A small win, but a win nonetheless!

Fines are the first step. Continuing to break the law leads to escalating consequences, especially antitrust law.
