Do you think they would ever miss a renewal or fail to register anything in their entire stable?

Microsoft one day forgot to renew their DNS domain name, so all is possible...

Actually, they now have a different word for e-mail: "Mél" (I kid you not). I've seen it on a French tax form and it's apparently an official word now.

It's a shorthand for "Message électronique" (electronic message).

wrt "umbrella" vs "parapluie" : in french we also have the word "ombrelle", which is exclusively used to create a shadow ("ombre" in french) and protect us from the sun. On the other hand "parapluie" protects ("parer" in french, although "protéger" is used more often) from the rain ("pluie" in french).

Simply multiply the fine by 2 each passing week with no action from Apple. They will comply sooner than later, you can believe me.
