943 applications “poubelles” bannies de l’AppStore

Le fondateur du groupe de développement Perfect Acumen, Khalid Shaikh, a
reçu une lettre de la part d’Apple (WWDR), lui demandant, après de nombreux
avertissements, de supprimer ses 943 applications de l’AppStore. ( la lettre
est à la fin de l’article)

Pourquoi ? Les applications, facturées 4,99€ étaient en fait des
programmes quasi vides, mais énormément taggués pour attirer le maximum de
personnes. Le responsable a d’ailleurs avoué a
Mobilecrunch qu’il faisait tout pour vendre ses applications en négligeant
son contenu : les applications ont étés "développées" en 9 mois, ce qui
fait 25 appli par jour, pendant 250 jours.

Comment et pourquoi Apple a t-il autorisé les applications de Mr Shaikh,
c’est la question que beaucoup se posent. Apple justifie la suppression des
programmes pour violation de la propriété intellectuelle.

Dear Mr. Shaikh:

This letter serves as notice of termination of the iPhone Developer Program
License Agreement (the “iDP Agreement”) and the Registered iPhone Developer
Agreement (the “Registered Developer Agreement”) between you and Apple,
effective immediately.

Pursuant to Section 3.2(d) of the iDP Agreement, you agreed that “to the
best of Your knowledge and belief, Your Application and Licensed Application
Information do not and will not violate, misappropriate, or infringe any Apple
or third party copyrights, trademarks, rights of privacy and publicity, trade
secrets, patents, or other proprietary or legal rights (e.g. musical
composition or performance rights, video rights, photography or image rights,
logo rights, third party data rights, etc. for content and materials that may
be included in Your Application).” Apple has informed you of numerous third
party intellectual property complaints concerning over 100 of your Applications
and reminded you of your obligations to obtain the necessary rights prior to
submission of your Applications. Nevertheless, we continue to receive the same
or similar types of complaints regarding your Applications despite our repeated
notices to you. The persistent nature of such complaints has led us to conclude
that you are entering into the representations and warranties in the iDP
Agreement in bad faith by misrepresenting that you have all the necessary
rights for your submissions.

As required by Section 12.3 of the iDP Agreement and Section 8 of the
Registered Developer Agreement, please erase and destroy all copies, full or
partial, of the Apple Software and any information pertaining to the services
and all copies of Apple Confidential Information in your and your Authorized
Developers’ possession or control. After you have completed those steps, please
provide certification of that destruction to Apple, as provided in Section 12.3
and Section 8. Finally, please note your additional obligations on termination
as set forth in those same sections. This letter is not intended as a complete
statement of fact with respect to the subject matter hereof, and nothing in
this letter should be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies Apple may
have in connection with this matter, all of which are expressly reserved.

Sincerely,

Worldwide Developer Relations (WWDR) Apple Inc.
