I am doing it right now. I'm going forward, at least, as I perceive it. In fact no matter how many times you splice it it's impossible to stand still in time. "Now" is merely a segment.

C'mon. This isn't news. The headline draws you in "Doesn't really sell that much"??? BS. It sells lots. Are people making a living off of it? Hell no. Well, not the majority anyway.
It's an open market and a level playing field, that is all. I don't think Apple has ever portrayed it as anything else. If your geek pals did, well, chalk it up to "excitement of the month."
Actually, the app store is pretty remarkable. It IS a rare opportunity for the amateur to make their presence known on a world stage without a lot of monetary risk.
Create a good idea. Work hard. Do your research. Make a good product and you WILL make money.
Revel in it while it lasts cuz it probably won't.
I've slogged thru literally hundreds of dollars worth of apps roughly $2 at a time just to find a few gems. I have 9 pages on my iPhone, half of which are games which I play infrequently but my wife and kids love `em. True, I haven't purchased as much as I used to because I finally found the apps that suit my needs. But I had a lot of fun doing it.
What's more it's given ME ideas for applications that don't yet exist.
That melody is SO simple I'm quite confident that Coldplay could beat the rap by easily finding a dozen or so other songs with the same or very similar melody. I'll do it for them if they want to pay me.
Hmmm. I'd start with The Descendents, The Cure, OMD, TV's Greatest Themes, and some Windham Hill new age crap and finish my search somewhere in Woody Guthrie territory.
Garth Brooks used to make the same complaint about used CD shops and him not getting a cut. This argument flies in the face of literally centuries of commerce. Doesn't he have something better to do than attack his customer base? With this argument, he defrauded the car industry if he ever bought a used car. If he's rich enough to never have had to...well, just another whiny rich boy who's never had to actually work.

Does Universal Music own the name ABBA? I thought that belonged to the actual band. What if a tribute band called themselves Addis Abbaba? BLABBA?

I think they both rip off The Descendents
