Invalid analogy, since it's Apple's house, not his. Nobody forced him to write software for Apple's platform and nobody forced him to agree to the developer agreement Apple requires. He did it of his own free will.



Except that this is not a single persons house, but a mega corporation with monetary power of states.

It's not "a person throwing you out of his house", it's "your governor forcing you to leave your state because you dared critcize him". Power makes a difference.


No, because you have to live somewhere, but you don't have to write apps.

Another analogy: it's like someone having a big "please wipe your shoes" sign on their front door, and you walk in with muddy boots and track mud everywhere. They'd be entitled to be annoyed and ask you to leave because you broke the terms of their invitation.


No it's more like taking a dump in the middle of wal-mart and then being shocked when asked to leave.
