I don't buy that.

I can understand if the NYT took issue with pictures of their content being used in screenshots/promotional material (implies endorsement). Or if their RSS was used in any other way to actually sell the app.

I can even understand them contacting the app owners and asking to be removed as a default feed (though that seems irrational it is only their loss).

But forcing Apple to remove it... well that's just a net negative move for everyone.

It's neither a smart or polite move. And the insinuation made was that the app sellers were misappropriating their content - which isn't true!
