It all depends on what side you're on. If you're a Samsung fan, you think Apple is acting childish. However, if the suit was in Apple's favor, and Samsung did the same thing, you would think Samsung 'had balls' to standup to a blatantly wrong court ruling, and you would love every minute of this.
Or if you're simply neutral, you think Apple acted in contempt of the court and got served by the Judge. Thrice. You'd also think that if Apple had won and Samsung pulled the same stunts, they'd also have acted in contempt of the court and would have deserved the same threatment. But in the US, where Samsung lost in the first instance, they didn't act like Apple did. They didn't issue confusing statements to the press, they said "we don't agree and we'll appeal" and that's what they are doing.
You know, the world and posters here aren't black or white. There are all sorts of shades of grey out there. In this instance, Apple lost the ruling, couldn't shut their mouths about "copying", got handed punishement, appealed, lost again, and instead of complying with the court orders, played some school yard antics.
In the end, they could've avoided all of this, first by shutting their mouths post ruling and simply stating they didn't agree and would appeal, and then by shutting their mouths and doing as they were told by the Appeal's court, barring a further appeal to a superior instance.
No one is above the law, not Samsung, not Apple.
