Apple Bans BitTorrent Software

This is Apple’s response to Maza Digital about why their app that controls the Transmission BitTorrent client was rejected. That’s right, the app itself does no uploading or downloading but was still rejected because it might be used to infringe copyright.

This is unacceptable. I love the convenience and quality of the App Store, but if this kind of behavior keeps up, I’m going to have to reevaluate whether or not to keep doing business with the App Store.
