As far as Kindle, you still can only buy books on a Kindle, or through a convoluted process from the app on a computer (MacOS) You and't buy books on the regular pages of Amaon.com
I wonder if you really believe the above to be the case, given much of the anti-Apple sentiment in various countries for different things.
Trust me, if Australia was under US control, California would be sending the case to them, not the other way around.
This is a pretty common way of dealing with the concept of lis alibi pendens. Most jurisdictions extend the courtesy to wait until the foreign court has done it’s thing, and yes, sometimes they’ll expect that the other court (also) applies their own laws if both would have a claim for jurisdiction.
I don’t get the reference.
John Cleese actually does hold a law degree.
That's not what this decision means. It just means that if Apple is found guilty in US, it will automatically be considered guilty in Australia. The article title is obviously misleading.
I hope Epic loses because I remember a time when developers/companies did not try to throw their weight around and demand they be treated like gods and not pay for anything.
I believe Australia is a legally registered as an American corporation.
More like Steam is their OG of hate! While Tim (Epic) was happy with just selling their engine and making some games. Gabe (Valve) created a platform to allow other devs to sell their games as well as tools for creation. Valve made money by selling their games, their tools and other devs' games. Now Epic sees a market but is late to the party. It's only standing is how strong it is in the Console market (and the backing of Tencent who wants their store in iOS).
Yes but Epic doesn't care about selling loot/boxes. They want a store on a platform that they had nothing to do with it's success. It's like wanting to sell your frozen meatballs at Target but you want them to checkout at your table instead of the store registers. Also Target won't be able to charge you rent or close the store when they want to (similar to depreciation of software/features).
I remember a time where a developer would be lucky to get 20% of the revenue sold in mobile stores like Verizon's App Store (pre-iOS) also they would charge you a monthly fee for bluetooth to be enabled on your phone even though it cost them nothing.
It seems like Epic is basically bringing their case to as many courts as they can in the hopes that at least one will rule favourably for them. Perhaps they are hoping to use this favourable decision to help bolster their fights in other courts or something. I am not sure how this sort of legal fight is supposed to work, but I doubt it was ever intended to work that way.
I believe Australia is a legally registered as a Chinese corporation.
