I did not argue that App Store is simply a different mechanism to charge royalties, it’s quite different
Well that seams to be what people are arguing as a counter measure to the ruling. Charging 30% in royalties for sales done through in app links
I’ve heard that Apple in court inclusively said the the value was as payment for IP no so much service.
Not saying you argued that … but that seams to be the argument around here.
PS: In the market royalties of this kind are usually applied to every one. There might be volume discounts, say if your revenue (unit sales) are over a certain value. But its relatively normal.
Now to your point of small pay less with this model. Do you consider a business with a million dollar revenue is not small? Meanwhile offering it for free to companies like Facebook? Hummm … interesting.
This Good Samaritan point of view of third part devs disgusts me. Is so dumb that disgusts me.
Now … I agree with you. How much money Apple makes it’s irrelevant.
