I suppose much of this rests on whether you believe Apple is operating a 'store' or a marketplace. It's complicated - I realise where the law currently stands; however, I feel that the law might need to be amended. I believe the AppStore is a privately regulated marketplace operating within the free-market. This type of scenario is likely to become more commonplace in the future. I can understand how the subject of the free-market (and possible government intervention) is at odds with a lot of people's politics, but I think the potential for abuse from the private sector is too great to ignore.
