A lot of media consumption apps, from Kindle to my local TV provider would offer the option to purchase content!

Copy-paste from where the "Buy now" button in the Kindle app should have been: "This app does not support purchasing of this content. Digital books and comics purchased from Amazon are available to read in the Kindle app."

After Google started following Apple in requiring the 30% cut, several local media companies have sent out emails saying we have to use their website or whatever to purchase content from now on.

This legislation would reverse that, and I'm really looking forward to renting movies in five seconds instead of five minutes again.
