The European courts have already gone after Apple and it's iTunes pricing police, Apple agreed to reduce it's prices as they charge the exact same in Europe as in the US in numbers, I.E. 99 cents in the US, 99 pence in the UK so obviously ignoring the value of cents to the pound.<br>Anyway, Apple said yes, left the court, thought about it, then they stuck the middle finger up at the European court U turned and said they would NEVER change their pricing policy in Europe so we just continue to get screwed.<br>And was any action taken?

They won’t let us embed songs, because they feel that it confuses iTunes users. The music industry needs new models, and it is nice that labels are actually able to make a living on the iTMS. That does not make everybody feel better after their applications get rejected to further Apple’s self interest.<br><br>Apple will have to do something to regain trust.

His wording is poor, but he makes the point of why apple is doing this. Apple is controlling this app. for what I believe are purely business reasons that the company believes will affect is bottom line. This article makes it sound as if apple is rejecting this app on moral reasons that piracy is bad and that it Apple's behavior is "foolish" and "capricious".<br><br>Apple's behavior is anything but capricious. While I may not agree with what they are doing, they are trying to make sure that you use their content delivery system (iTunes) to make your purchases of music and other media. They do not want you to have access to any other delivery methods, and they will cut off that access in any way they can. Although their statement makes it sound as if they are doing this on the moral grounds of third party rights, this is really about controlling you and doing everything possible to ensure that you purchase your music through them, and they will shut down any tool on their system that could even POSSIBLY be used to obtain content through another means.<br><br>Again, I don't necessarily agree with their view, but let's first be clear on why they are doing this -- control.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jaytee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2009 3:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/apple-rejects-bittorrent-control-app-from-app-store-because-it-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/apple-rejects-bittorrent-control-app-from-app-store-because-it-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[NewsFlash: Apple Discontinues sales of all iPods and iPhones beacuse they may be used to listen to infringed material.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Christopher Howell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2009 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/apple-rejects-bittorrent-control-app-from-app-store-because-it-m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/apple-rejects-bittorrent-control-app-from-app-store-because-it-m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wake up.
