Apple Rejects Indecent NIN iPhone App
Thanks Apple for the clear description of the problem – as in, what do you want us to change to get past your stupid fucking standards?," wrote NIN leader Trent Reznor in return. And to his fans he continued."…
while we're at it, I'll voice the same issue I had with Wal-Mart years ago, which is a matter of consistency and hypocrisy. Wal-Mart went on a rampage years ago insisting all music they carry be censored of all profanity and "clean" versions be made for them to carry. Bands (including Nirvana) tripped over themselves editing out words, changing album art, etc to meet Wal-Mart's standards of decency – because Wal-Mart sells a lot of records. NIN refused, and you'll notice a pretty empty NIN section at any Wal-Mart."
"Come on Apple, think your policies through and for fuck's sake get your app approval scenario together," concluded Reznor.
Well said Trent
You also echo the sentiments of many iPhone app developers. Put months of time and money into developing an app only to be refused for no apparent reason or explanation by Apple.The onus is on the developer to figure out what the problem is.
Apple itunes is a monoply out of control. The tail is now wagging the dog. You’ll need an act of Congress will get them to respond.
