Apple Rejects BitTorrent Monitoring Application for iPhone

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on September 1, 2009 - 11:37am.
Los Angeles - Apple (NASD: AAPL) has rejected an application submitted to its App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch that can remotely control a user's BitTorrnet file-sharing client, TorrentFreak reported. The rejection of uTorrent's uMonitor application by Apple means the developers will make it available through the Cydia store, for owners of jailbroken iPhones. "We've reviewed µMonitor and determined that we cannot post this version of your application to the App Store at this time because this category of applications is often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights. We have chosen to not publish this type of application to the App Store," the company wrote in an email to the developer.
