Proton: "Apple’s 30% fees act as an artificial and arbitrary tax on internet commerce." Yes, Proton, every store in history has had an "arbitrary" markup that "artificially" taxes the purchases made in that store. So what? If you don't like the ma…

"The sad truth is that Apple and Google are no longer good-faith, law-abiding companies," said the Epic Games CEO. The sad truth is that Sweeney wants to do an end-run around Apple's and Google's 30% markups, and they won't let him. Meanwh…

nubus said: The corporate culture at Apple could be the reason why we get cases like "we have the right to do price fixing" with iBooks ... When Kindle was the only e-book game in town, it set the price of every book, and if you didn't li…

Just in case anyone was unclear, 10% of Apple's current global revenue is roughly equivalent to all the profits Apple has made from all of its products/services in the entire EU (not just France) from January 2007 when Jobs unveiled iPhone, to today…

Does this lawsuit specify any (not to mention a sensible) dividing line between what features a company is allowed to reserve for itself, and what features must be turned into third-party flea markets or else be hit with multi-billion-dollar judgmen…

It's not just the size of the fine that's retroactive; it's the whole idea that Apple has been violating the law for years. Apple's had the same App Store rules for 16 years (if anything, they've just gotten more lax), long before it was even a smal…
