Actions can be mafia even without physical violence.
As everyone can see the notice was sent by Apple itself not by an US institution like a tribunal or a governmental agency.
Even juridical acts can be a form of violence expecially if they came from a big organization against a small retailer. The fact that there is no physical violence put them in another plan but violence and intimidations are always of the same nature and qualifies this act as mafia (in my point of view).
Being Sicilian I'm well placed to know how to name this kind of acts: mafia.
The only difference with traditional mafia is that in this case the act is dressed with the clothes of a big corporation but the underlying meaning of this kind of acts is just the same.
