Yes I am sure Tim Cook will not be arrested for contempt of court due to his wealth (unfortunate but true there are two legal systems one for the rich and one for the rest of us) but I do not recommend you defy a court order.

I would recommend that you challenge a court order that is not based in law. Your point that there are better chances for Cook than for the rest of us is sort of true, except you are ignoring the fact that lots of lawyers would jump at the chance to take a case like this court order to the Supreme court pro bono.

How can he be in contempt? He is challenging the order in court and a hearing is scheduled this month.

I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to the law, but to my non-legal mind it would appear as if the legal process is moving forward.

Am I to understand anyone using available legal options to fight a court order is in contempt? Are we no longer free to exhaust whatever legal remedies are available?
