A comment on EFF on Apple's iPhone Developer Program Agreement.

Section 14 states that, no matter what, Apple will never be liable to any developer for more than $50 in damages.

I dislike what Apple is doing with the app store as much as the next guy, but to be fair don't most contracts try to include some clause limiting liability like this, that in reality is almost never enforceable? Is this really so strange? (Honest question, so would love some real answers.)

Deal with PayPal or read the agreements from Microsoft and no - you will not find it unique to Apple.
