"I think your argument is flawed Jason. Lets do a TCTV piece on it. My 2c. Apple has built a distribution channel for media, apps and other content. Anybody can get anything into the channel via open web apps and HTML5. For free, without sharing. Apple has also built a store. The store is convenient and people use it more than they use web apps, at least for now. It seems totally reasonable that a store owner should take a cut, just as newsagents do in real stores. I don't really see the issue. If people stop going to the store the publishers will stop distributing through it, so the onus is on Apple to maintain high levels of distribution. In many ways its a god send to the publishers, even at the price." - Keith Teare
