    Wulven sued for using In-App Purchases!

    http://www.tuaw.com/2011/05/31/lodsy...re-developers/

    Wulven Game Studios has been sued for using In-App Purchases in Shadow Era. Which is, of course, ridiculous... But thanks for the free publicity!

    Well if push comes to shove, can't the third party groups just sue Apple for the software they provided? Not knowing that they were liable for infringement?

    Wow. With the hundreds of apps using in-app purchases, they picked Wulven to sue. Good going Kyle. That shows that you're doing well with your company.

    I don't think that Apple will let it go Princess. The wrath of Job's legal team is about to be unleashed :P

    I can see the headlines now…

    "Jobs' legal team argued that, at the time of the licensing, the management in charge of inn-app purchases overlooked the potential for future lawsuits do to an 'aggravated state of mind arising from poor lighting conditions due to faulty glass fixtures.' Ironically, legal analysts have already begun calling Apple's argument the 'Windows Defense.'"

    Yeah, as the article said, if Lodsy wins, it may as well spell the end to third-party developers for the iOS, and there's no way Apple's going to let that happen.

    Awesome..... Free publicity is always nice... Jobs wont let this happen, nothign to worry about.
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

    Apple doesn't go quietly on such matters.
