Sure, but arbitrarily blacklisting a specific app, for reasons other than malware? I guess Apple could have done that, but—correct me if I'm wrong—in 2005 I think that would have been completely unprecedented, and certainly trivial to bypass.
It seems like a pretty odd request to make of Apple, as opposed to contacting Rouge Amoeba directly.

A lot of these associations were much less sophisticated about how they viewed technology. It wasn't unreasonable for something like the RIAA to view apple as being responsible for the actors on its platform. It is odd, but not uncommon.
