The defense for Apple and Google taking their 30% cut is usually about how they do vetting and take responsibility for their app store being legitimate.

- ethbr1 2y agoThat's a bad argument to give someone hot coffee in lap money for, though. Google and Apple operate monopolistic app stores with predatory fees. This lady did something foolish. Redressing the former by removing responsibility for the latter doesn't make sense. I'm all for fining Google over this, but the money shouldn't go to the victim.
- me-vs-cat 2y ago> That's a bad argument to give someone hot coffee in lap money for, though. Are you sure? Didn't that coffee lady originally request just hospital expenses, and then her lawyer told the jury to award punitive damages equal to one day's worth of coffee sales? (Or was it one day's coffee profits?) Seems rather fitting that Google might pay one day's worth of app profits, if punitive damages are applied to their 3-month delay.
