Have you read the article? It’s about Uber bypassing review so that it can track users against Apple’s rules, and against their will. Or other apps doing it so they can spread pirated software.



It’s not pirated software. It’s software for pirating videos.

I should be able to install video download tools on my purchased device.


Apple's app store should not be in the business of distributing software for pirating videos.


Wrong. You can pirate videos using only Apple first party apps like Final Cut/iMovie/Camera/Safari.

They are tools. Apple should not be in the business of policing what you do with tools.

That’s like saying GM shouldn’t sell cars that can drive over the speed limit.


And that’s why we need a healthy story for installing apps found outside the App Store.


is downloading videos always pirating them?
