Thanks I was going to say the same thing. I am an active EFF supporter and while most of the crystal prison article is more balanced than the title would imply, the money motivation is simply idiotic.
The Apple App store never was about making money - every quarterly report shows it performs just a little better than breaking even. They take a 30% cut but you have to consider than they're serving probably 100 times more free apps than paid for apps- somebody has to pay for that.
