Hey, it's Apple's marketplace - private property and all that. Nobody has a right to sell there.

Now, I also think this is a dick move, but it's because of dick moves like this that the patent and copyright systems exist in the first place, and why I think they need to be reformed rather than abandoned.

I wish that we could rely on the companies that are increasingly controlling semi-public commons like social networks and software repositories to have some integrity and respect for the roles that they are playing in this regard.

Never said it was illegal, just unethical.
