Another way to look at this. I have made a new speaker system. So I go into Best Buy and clear out a 10 ft by  10 ft area, set up my advertising promotional material and a demo unit. I pay Best Buy nothing! The manager comes over an says...you must pay for this space! I pay the rent for the building, I pay for the air conditioning and heat, I pay for the janitorial service, and you are pitching my customers as they come into my store.  The manager says you must leave. I say like hell I am going to pay and I am not going to leave. Furthermore, I am going to sue you because you are a monopoly! Thus is just wrong!!!!!

This is nuts. This company wants to screw Apple out of its fee. If a company want to market its product, it take time and money to do so. In general it takes about 30% to move a product to market. In Apple part they have spent billions to create the IOS platform, billions to create the App Store, and billions to create the software necessary for the developer to make it work, plus maintenance to keep it safe and make it work.. The developer get 70% of the proceeds! But, no, they want the other 30%. If they don’t like the system they can go elsewhere! Apple is right to pull their product!
