Re: “iPhone Developers: apps cloned, Apple no help | iLounge News
I don’t think it’s really Apple’s responsibility to persecute creators of cloned applications. If someone were to clone, say, a computer game that, say, Ubisoft created for a Dell computer running Windows, it wouldn’t be the responsibility of Dell or Microsoft to persecute whoever cloned the game. Legal action would be expected to come from Ubisoft.
With that said, it’s pretty messed up that people are directly cloning things and hardly even changing the name, and getting them approved by Apple…
