Good luck trying to enforce the GPL against a Chinese company
Well it looks like insulet is the primary offender here, and Nuu (the Chinese company) is just the hardware manafacturer
An actual good use case for tariffs.
Not really.
You can tariff a single company.
The normal response to a company importing illegal products is to seize them at the border, destroy them, and, optionally, send the importer a big fine. This is already an established process.
> importing illegal products
What's "illegal" about these products?
> send the importer a big fine.
And that gets paid?
> This is already an established process.
And has it ever been used for /civil/ software GPL violations?
Or you could just prevent the goods from being sold, rather than making the American tax payer foot the bill for that company's crime.
