I am not an Apple fanboy, but I fully support Apple's decision to remove AppGratis from the store. It is pointless to argue if it was bribery that caused Pellerin to do this, but it is obvious that she is mistaken. >but Apple was OK with it being on their store, and approved updates, up until days before it was pulled, and they continue to allow similar apps to operate on their store. Allowing it in the App Store in the first place is a bad decision, but there is no reason they should have not removed it now. They also removed similar apps several months ago.

Researching apps take time. Either they let developers wait months in order to get them onboard or conduct more thorough research retroactively.

The removal itself isn't the problem, the problem is Apple's clear and undisputable track record of: * Arbitrary and inconsistent enforcement of rules * Unclear/nonexistent communication with developers * Blatant anti-competitive behavior * Backwards, bigoted censorship bordering on outright oppression * Generally doing things that you won't get away with unless you're the only game in town (which they are) The point here isn't that AppGratis being pulled somehow merits legal action. The point is that you can easily look at it as the straw that broke the camel's back: Apple has been pulling this shit for a while, and will continue to pull this shit FOREVER unless other parties intervene.
