Obeying the court order would both significantly harm Apple's reputation, and would likely send it's stock south (it actually went up today after news came out of this). His duty is to his shareholders, and he did exactly what any CEO should do in that situation. Nevermind that if he complies to US lawmakers, every single country on earth will demand the same. No one actually trusts the Government with this tool to not totally abuse it right? That fact he got to tell the US government and FBI to #### themselves is just one of life's little bonuses.
