Apple Refusing Any BitTorrent Related Apps?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the ignorance-is-bliss dept.

jamie pointed out what appears to be an unfortunate policy for Apple's app store that is refusing anything to do with BitTorrent. The example is a remote control app that allows a user to interface with their Transmission BitTorrent client. This certainly isn't the first complaint over app store policy. Issues from the return policy to the "objectionable content" of Nine Inch Nails have some developers concerned over what Apple is doing to the market. Of course, many are quick to remind that it is Apple's store and they are free to do whatever they want with it.

    Indeed, I've also heard that it is Apple's store and they are free to do whatever they want with it.

    I've heard this from two different sources now, so I think it's fair to say it's probably true. Off to update Wikipedia!

    Why am I starting to wonder if there might not be something a little bit wrong with this form of argument?

    If you don't like that form of argument, don't use it.
