EFF Presses Apple To Indemnify Developers

Posted by Soulskill on from the an-apple-a-day-keeps-the-trolls-away dept.

Julie188 writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation is calling on Apple to indemnify its developers from Lodsys — a patent troll that's alleging patent infringement on the in-app purchasing used by iOS apps. (That's the technology developed by Apple and forced on many of its developers.) The letters Lodsys has been sending out came to light on May 13th, and apparently developers have been asking Apple for help to no avail."

    As soon as I saw the headline I thought "What is the EFF on Apple's case for this time?". If I had an annoying neighbor that harassed me about the length of my grass, the hours I mowed the lawn, how many cars I had parked in the drive way, etc. I'd sure as hell ignore him when he came over asking for help.
