Re: How about we sue Ebay and Amazon? If Apple decides to sue me, would that be a civil or a criminal lawsuit?
If Apple sues you, that is Civil, monetary only.
If they see a violation of law, such as copyright or trademark infringement, they can refer you to a state's attorney, or your local equivalent, and ask for an enforcement action. If the state decides the accusations are substantial and have merit they can also prosecute you.
In that case the state can pursue you for violating those laws and fraud and theft that damaged the people of your country.
So BOTH can happen.
You can lose both your money and your freedom.
