Apple is saying if you offer content outside the App store then you have to offer content through the App store.
Apple is saying that they want a 30% cut of everything you buy on an iPhone. Even if you don't buy it thru the app store. I can accept a 30% commission for buying thru the app store, because in that case apple is offering a service, and that ought to be paid too. But I cannot accept a 30% tax on so-called `in-app-purchases´ that bypass the app store completely. Apple is extorting a tax for doing nothing at all. Would you accept Ford taking a 30% tax on all gasoline you buy from Exxon? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
