if you haven't read doctorow's "all complex ecosystems have parasites"[0], you should find it interesting. as for this particular case, i wouldn't go so far as to call it schadenfreude, but it really is fascinating to see apple's scummy practices (locking down and restricting what you can run on your device) come up against tapjoy's scummy practices. since there is no "good guy" here to get emotionally invested in, we can just sit back and watch this for pure entertainment value, like a good cyberpunk story unfolding.
