Overview
- U.S. District Judge Eumi Lee in the Northern District of California dismissed Musi’s lawsuit with prejudice, closing the case in Apple’s favor.
- The ruling cites Apple’s Developer Program License Agreement, which allows Apple to cease offering an app at any time, with or without cause, upon notice.
- The court assigned fees and costs against Musi, and it partly granted Rule 11 sanctions against Musi’s law firm related to unsupported allegations.
- Apple removed Musi from the App Store after multiple YouTube complaints alleging copyright violations and misuse of private YouTube technology.
- Following the delisting, Apple also offloaded the app from users’ devices after an update, illustrating its enforcement capabilities.
