I disagree, Apple is responsible for the content on their store and is responsible for accuracy in advertising since they take a 30% cut.This is AMC's fault and not Apple's, but I do agree that it was wrong of AMC to do this.

I am not saying that AMC is not at fault as well, but Apple definitely has a responsibility here.
They can't.
If they call it another Season they are liable to pay for contracts etc.

Season 5A $14.99-$22.99
Season 5B $14.99-$22.99
For those that feel cheated:
Season 5 Episodes 1-13 $14.99-$22.99
Season 5 Episodes 14-16 $14.99-$22.99
Apple store could use better labeling of what you Are actually buying.
I don't know how many songs I've bought from the store that I thought
Was the original artist only to find out I've bought a remake.
I hate lawsuits but if it wakes apple up so be it!
Wait a sec, I just got on this thread, haven't read the article yet. Are they seriously charging a full season for 3 episodes???![]()
Okay, Noam Lazebnik, you've had your 15 seconds of dubious fame.
Most of us would contact Customer Service (and anytime that I have needed an adjustment in iTune charges, Apple has been most co-operative) -- but (reportedly) you launched a lawsuit in California claiming you are owed between $14-$22.
You may claim you are acting on behalf of others, but as a Breaking Bad subscriber (who does not expect 16 episodes spread over a two year period to be given to me as one season) you do not represent me.
If you want the extra shows free, try torrents.
No. They divided up the season 5 into two equal parts. I suggested 13/3 as a way for Apple to avoid paying the attorney fees on the class action lawsuit. The attorney's fee is what this is all about isn't it?
It helps to read the article before posting.![]()
When AMC submits "Breaking Bad Season 5" Apple has no responsibility to ask further questions of AMC as to their further distribution plans.
That's not what happened here. This isn't an issue of Apple's labeling.
I doubt Apple had any idea that AMC was doing this. AMC submitted "Breaking Bad Season 5." Seeing no reason to not approve, Apple approved.Ridiculous! You're saying that Apple can't label 1st part and 2nd part?
Not too hard if you ask me.
Why? Why do you relieve Apple of all responsibility for not inspecting the product that they're selling? They're certainly in a better position than the consumer to determine whether AMC's product is what they say it is. If BestBuy sold a bunch of PS3's that didn't have a controller, they're not in a position to say, "tough luck, take it up with Sony." Apple's acting as a merchant, taking a fair bit of revenue, and is absolutely responsible for delivering what they're promising.
And if they give AMC control of the advertising of what the product is and then show it on iTunes, they're delegation of control does not alleviate them from responsibility to the consumers whom they are directly charging. AMC might be ultimately responsible, but Apple is still responsible to the consumers defrauded by their dereliction of duty. Apple can sue AMC about AMC's fault, but Apple is certainly liable to the direct consumer.
Apple has no duty to find out what AMC plans to do for distribution of future episodes of Breaking Bad. The customer could have, but Apple does not have to. Apple breached no duty.
What you've written is legally nonsense- the contract was with Apple, and the iTunes store described BB Season 5 as including, among other things, all future episodes of season 5. Objectively, one was buying all of season 5, not just the first part, end of story- "we have no idea what someone else is doing in our store" is not a defence. If Apple chooses to allow anyone to edit whatever is "put on Apple's shelves", so to speak, that's Apple's problem; and if Apple want, they can sue AMC or whoever puts the info "on Apple's shelves" in a separate suit.
Since as you rely in false analogies with BestBuy (as I explained before: when one buys from BestBuy, they have the opportunity to inspect the package that they're buying, whereas with iTunes one buys a "promise" to have the future episodes delivered), I have serious doubts that BestBuy allows reps from Sony to walk around the store labelling their products.
At the end of the day, you look at who has the contract with whom, not who did the editing...
The Best Buy analogy was not my own, nor would Best Buy need to allow Sony reps to label their products within the store. A ps3 comes in retail box that is pre-labelled.
Apple could CHOOSE to give refunds, and that may even be the best course of action, but I do not at all think they are legally obligated to do that or provide the customer with more episodes. Apple does not get to dictate AMC distribution plans simply because they own the iTunes store.
I don't disagree that what happened was messed up, but it's not Apple's fault.
Furthermore, how familiar are you with Apple's iTunes store Terms of Use? I'm not very familiar with it, but I can almost guarantee it has safeguards in it for what happened here.
