> Unfortunately, Apple has to maintain this rule because otherwise developers will implement workarounds to avoid charging in the App Store altogether If the decision goes against Apple, I'd be surprised if they didn't just 'charge rent' to be on the App Store, just like a retail mall charges stores. Apple would have to take on the additional work of negotiating with each App, which would likely be "take it or leave it" pricing for all except the big ones, but I can't imagine it being illegal. That doesn't cut to the core claim of lack of competition, though, and that's why the choice of remedy here will be interesting.
