I don't know about on the take, but it is baffling how more than 900 apps can just slip through and be in the store for so many months. Hopefully some of these recent actions are a sign of Apple stepping things up on an on-going basis, not just gestures to grab some good PR.

Reading the comments on some of these reviews was actually quite funny.

I guess he was hoping for people to download and forget to refund. But I'm glad Apple's app store decided to pull his apps – it appears Google's done the same with his apps on the Market. Very happy to see some kind of moderation in place – Google has no approval board for apps but it appears they'll listen if enough people complain.

Man, I wonder if someone at Apple's app store approval group was on the take… I've heard really solid apps getting banned but all of Khalid's get approved? Sounds fishy to me.

If there are others that are publishing apps with copyright material they have no rights to, which imagine there are, I hope Apple's going to pursue them and get rid of them as well.

This is just the first step for Apple and I do hope that it will do the same actions against others.
