Are you implying consumers should not have their voices somehow heard (no matter how stupid their requests are) by private companies? I think your comment underestimate the power of consumers and customers of products -- and ultimately of boycotts. If this petition had been signed by 1.5 millions instead of just 1.5 thousand I wonder if you would consider it more... valued? Let them speak out if that is what they want.

Signing a petition is easy. If this is to make a difference those 1500 developers need to not support apples policies and boycott the apps tore, and get users to do the same.

Petitions mean nothing, when those signing vote the opposite with their feet and wallets.
