In the original discussion, a lot of people were certain that Apple, Google & Co constantly abuse their powers. Good to know that's perhaps not that worse after all.
HN likes to go on tears about some big service hurting some little entrepreneur via random, unexplained mistreatment. And yet, most of the time, these stories turn out to involve blatant breaking of terms of use. At this point, whenever I see these stories, I assume that I'm reading a self-serving account by someone who knows exactly what they did wrong, and then I look for any sign that this isn't the case.
It's gotten a little better over time, at least. There was a point, years back, where it seemed like every other day there was a front-page post by some guy running a linkfarm complaining that Google had mysteriously and unjustly weakened their God-given search rankings.
I read threads here and on reddit and found it interesting that on reddit the consensus was that apple handled it quite well and according to the evidence they had and that the dev should have realized why he was on the hook. Plus the taping of the phonecall and subsequent publishing was also not the way to do things.
Just to confirm my otherwise vague memories, has OSX always supported cmd + x and cmd + v in the finder. Basically I'm asking Did the software basically do nothing or was that functionality missing?
If it was missing I would say for $5 for a quick fix for those that don't want to look any further for a solution, this is not robbery is it?

I'd have to start bisecting versions of OS X to find exactly which, but up until a versions ago cmd-x didn't do anything in Finder. Cmd-c worked, but not cmd-x.
It's only been possible to cut and paste files since OS X 10.7, and it's not done with cmd+x/cmd+v, but cmd+c and then cmd+option+v for "move items here". I guess the logic behind it is that "cutting" a file would not delete it, and that files are different from text and images in that way.
