ACT | The App Association Statement on U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Apple v. Pepper
WASHINGTON, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ACT | The App Association released a statement from president Morgan Reed regarding today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the 9th Circuit's decision in the matter of Apple v. Pepper:
"We are extremely disappointed in the decision from the U.S. Supreme Court to reward trial lawyers rather than developers. Platforms of all kinds have provided three key benefits for developers?trust, reduction of overhead,and global access to consumers.
"This decision and its categorization of developers as 'suppliers' or 'manufacturers' to platforms sets a troubling precedent. Ten years ago getting software was quite a different and onerous process- our members count on platforms that enable customers to purchase software safely, easily and with confidence. Under this decision, only trial lawyers will benefit from the simplification of platforms as a retailer and vendor model."
