iPhone SDK Looks to Keep Programmers’ Wares in the App Store

iPhone SDK Looks to Keep Programmers

Although not everybody with an iPhone wants to jailbreak the device and explore the wild and wooly world of iPhone applications not sanctioned by Applem, the Cupertino company is apparently taking a dim view of developers who want to create programs and applications and distribute them in some way besides the officially sanction iTunes App Store. The latest version of the iPhone software development kit (SDK) forbids developers from distributing their programs in any way except via ad hoc distribution of via the App Store—which, of course, famously only offers programs that have met Apple’s still-unstated criteria for distribution.

RIAA File Sharing Verdict Thrown Out

RIAA File Sharing Verdict Thrown Out

Last year, the Recording Industry Association of America won a jaw-dropping legal victory when a federal jury ruled against plaintiff Jammie Thomas and awarded the RIAA $220,000 for making 24 songs (and, allegedly, thousands of others) available via the file-sharing service Kazaa.

Universal Music Group Tries Digital Release

“This is a great benefit to small acts that will can receive greater online distribution than independent record labels usually provide by releasing music for these artists through digital only services such as Apple’s iTunes, RealNetworks’ Rhapsody and Microsoft’s MSN Music. If digital sales are substantial (at least 5,000 copies), Universal has the option to release the song or album in CD form and begin retail distribution.”
