Lessons: - Apple considers Developer Program memberships "linked to the same entity" if they are paid for by the same credit card. - If one of these accounts violates rules, all accounts of this entity are being closed. - As always, it's difficult to get any useful information from Apple. - Apple will listen and try to find a reasonable solution – at least if the public backlash is big enough. In my opinion, Apple should communicate this more clearly and, upon closing an account, provide all relevant information to the membership holders as well as providing a means of appeal. Mistakes do happen. I welcome Apple's crackdown on fradulent activity. However, as an iOS developer, stories like these are the reason why I don't want to bet my livelihood on distributing apps through the App Store. While the risk of having my app rejected or account closed for no particular reason is small, it's still there. Are developer's voices being heard, even if they don't have a blog and a twitter account? My experience with Apple's Bug Reporter says no.
