Fair enough - it is Apple's right to reject such applications that we all know will be used to pirate copyrighted material. However, my issue with this is that Apple has not explicitly stated that this sort of application is not allowed. As with the rest of the App Store approvals process, Apple needs to be utterly clear about what it will or will not allow in order that developers will not waste their time writing an application that Apple could have told them upfront that they would not accept.

Just to spite Apple, someone should use uTorrent's WebUI to pirate SL.

I love the picture showing the leeching of a couple of linux isos. Every image of BT trying to show it as a "legitimate" method of technology, shows it downloading linux isos.

Why would I want to download a linux iso at a fraction of my full internet speed? Why would I also want to sacrifice my upload to let other people download them?

BT offers a nice alternative to having gobs of internet bandwidth at your disposal, but that doesn't mask that it's almost exclusively used to download movies, music, and software illegally.

Lets put it this way: When final builds of Windows and Leopard end up on trackers, there is at least a few articles about it. That never happens with Ubuntu builds.

Not that I like Apple being the content police, but at least they call a spade a spade.

Or you could just use a uTorrent Web-Gui compatible with the iPhone from http://www.davidraso.com/utorrent-iphone/

uTorrent comes with webUi. The app is pointles because for quite a while there are few iPhone themes for webUi. All you need is a browser.

The iPod itself became popular based in part on illegally downloaded music.

By this logic, Apple should just disable internet access on the phone entirely, since the internet is also "often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights."

This is ridiculous. There is no bandwidth argument since it is simply control of a torrent app. As for their stated reason of rejection - piracy concerns, that implies that torrent apps are only used for illegal distribution, ignoring the fact that it is a perfectly acceptable and effective distribution platform for legitimate data.

So is this the real reason the Google voice app hasn't been approved, someone might use it to conduct illegal activities on a phone call? Maybe they should remove email and safari since they can be used to conduct illegal activities as well. Lets axe any VNC type program which could be used to control any/all illegal activities on your PC/Mac

I love my iPhone and Mac but getting tired of these #applestorefail
