I'm no lawyer either :)

Even if Apple benefits though, I'm not sure American law binds foreign subsidiaries, otherwise I think they'd be taxing them as well :)

You're probably right, and even if not, theres probably a whole slew of regulations they could impose to make it non-useful. Still seems odd that Washington gets to decide what a company in other country B does, forbidding the export of RAM by that company B to other country C.
