That doesn't mean the terms and business practices fall under 'legal' in regards to protections.
Defender of monopolists.
Not really. Just thinking, didn’t they agree? Or no? I couldn’t care less either way.
You either agree, or you don't get to play. That's a monopoly. Just because they agreed, doesn't mean apple wasn't being monopolistic.
So they agreed but don’t agree. K.
By law, consent can't be given for certain things. To take an extreme example: you can't consent to being shot in the head. Anyone who shoots you for no reason is guilty of a crime, even if you have a signed contract.
Whether or not Apple's practices constitue a violation serious enough to nullify the agreement they have with developers remains to be seen.
