Taking money for nothing is a criminal act at least morally but it should be so legally too.

Aren't the apps, media, books etc. all hosted by apple, while it is excessive to equate that with meriting 30% of each transaction it isn't entirely fair to declare that they provide nothing.
Given their complaints about free apps being there entirely to supply content that they don't make any money from, the logical way to alter things would be for them to make people like Amazon charge for the ios Kindle app and get their cut from the app sales and not the content sales which have almost nothing to do with them, but do serve as a selling point for the particular platform.
