I mean, it could also be argued that the moon is made of green cheese, with roughly equal fidelity to real life.

- paulryanrogers 6y agoSo the possibility of Apple's rules being illegal is equivalent to the moon being made of cheese? I used the phrase "can be argued" because I think the idea has enough merit to warrant being tested in court. These companies certainly have enough money and market influence to justify exploring it.
- ubermonkey 6y agoI have yet to see any serious, respectable theory under which Apple's App Store rules would be illegal AT ALL. People keep yammering about "monopoly," but they have no such thing. Closed platforms with rules for participation are utterly normal and utterly legal. (What's really amazing is the arguments I see -- presumably from either very young or very ill-informed people -- that this is "just like" Microsoft in the 90s.)
