The Mac App Store – Apple vs. Developers | iwascoding →
I knew the new Apple Mac Store would be yet another game changer, but I didn’t realise the hit existing app business would take. This post by iwascoding, who make the eBay app Garage Sale, make some points you just wouldn’t realise:
Since all apps are secured by the same copy-protection theme, I’m certain generic cracks will be available shortly after the release of the App Store. These cracks will unlock any app purchased from the App Store, so it can be distributed freely. And since the Mac is still an open platform, there is no jail-breaking required. The initial barrier of installing such a cracking toolkit will therefore be a lot lower than on iOS. And because prices in the Mac App Store will be a lot higher than on iOS, the temptation is a lot higher, too.
