Yep, damned if they do damned if they don't. Good ole MR. Nothing changes here. Something positive finally happens and we still have to say bad things about Apple. Can't even have a positive discussion after hearing some good news.
I'm glad she got what SHE wanted, but you cannot deny Apple's general hubris in terms of how they treat content providers (developers and artists).
With Family Sharing, Apple FORCED app developers to give away four extra copies of each app for one sale (5 copies total). If a developer did not agree to the new terms, they could not submit new apps or updates of existing apps. Those terms effectively kicks you out of the store if you don't capitulate.
"No one" (big/significant) said a peep in the software industry because Family Sharing only affected small developers. When small shops go out of business, the big companies (including Apple) reap the rewards from less competition for employees. Family sharing was a direct hostile attack on developers by Apple.
Thanks Ms Swift! Glad to see someone standing up to Apple. I wish someone significant in the software industry stood up to Apple like you did.
