Indeed, and Apple gets no money from things you buy on Amazon.com.
> The analogy would be Walmart getting a % from songs bought on an iPod if the iPod itself was purchased from Walmart.
Only if you buy those songs through Walmart.

With Walmart disallowing songs to be bought from anywhere other than Walmart. That's why the analogy (which has been repeated over and over) is rather silly. When you purchase something from a retailer you establish 2 relationships; one with the retailer and one with the product you purchased. In the App Store universe, Apple places itself in between the second relationship. Whether this is legal or not I will leave to those with relevant degrees.
