The number one take away from this, for those who didn't know, is that Apple disallowed an application that displays lyrics, just because some lyrics contain profanity.

Yeah.

This is a significant abuse of corporate gatekeeping power. Why are people accepting this? Are the majority of people that lethargic so as to ignore such significant limits on their ability to use and create content and applications for devices?

Would it be acceptable if Apple just out and out banned the music that contains the profanities? That's pretty close to what they are doing. I'm really struggling here to understand how people lie down and take this.

Loss of freedom in the name of commerce is disgusting, despicable, and most importantly, unethical, and needs to be stopped.
