Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) wants to go even further: It wants a piece of the action on any kind of content or subscription sale made through its apps. Developers face a June 30 deadline to get in compliance, after which apps will no longer be allowed to link to external sites for purchases. As publicly traded companies, their only obligation is to their share-holders. I would guess Rich owns zero shares in either company. Mike Same excuse the banks used to defend derivative buying and selling. We saw how that went... There is vast a difference between marketing and and fraud. The evil in the derivative selling was the lack of adequate disclosure of the risks, which made any due diligence by the buyers impossible. If a buyer makes a purchase without adequate due diligence, the buyer bears the consequences. A large portion of The disclosure fraud committed was that certain banking institutions failed to disclose that they were taking a short position in the very same securities they were selling. They were selling: insured mortgage backed securities. Technically that is what a buyer received. The buyers never inquired into strength of the insurance company backing the securities, and more importantly the value of the realty securing the obligations. Come out of your basement and learn the difference. -- Peter |
