When Sony got pwned, I had mixed feelings. That would not be the case here.

I'm not sure exactly what you are implying about feeling since Apple is very polarizing (happy iOS devs are getting sued?), but if you take a step back you'll see that this isn't just an Apple problem. The lawsuits will come to Android app devs next, and probably most other mobile platforms with in-app purchases.

Apple is doing the right thing. It's Lodsys that needs to be crushed, preferably legally.

Lodsys is already targeting Android developers too.

One can make a case about a lot of businesses being nothing but a drag on society. Few are as clear-cut as this - scum of the earth, these people are. They contribute nothing, create nothing, and expect to tax us, because they can.

Die in a fire, Lodsys. May the collapse of your illegitimate business be swift.
