For most people the Apple App Store could function basically the same with or without the DMCA
You don't think the Apple App Store has more and better software available due to reduced copyright infringement on that platform?
- betterunix 13y agoIs there some reason to think that is the case?
- wes-exp 13y agoMobile app developers, in general, seem to prefer to target iOS before Android, in spite of iOS being "closed". I think the main reason for this is pretty simple: money, and it is pretty clear that iOS pays out more on the whole. Hard to say with scientific certainty to what extent reduced infringement plays a role in this. But for the same reason that game studios might treat the "open" PC platform (with 90%+ infringement) as a last resort and instead focus on "closed" consoles, I think reduced infringement may be a significant factor.
