Apples argument that they're complying is about as brilliant as "I don't need a liquor license because I'm not selling beer I'm renting glassess for the time it takes to drink a beer". The only way to get into 3rd party stores is to pay (or be at risk of having to pay) Apple which is not the case if you only distribute through the Apple store, this clearly disadvantages 3rd party stores in comparrison to their own store.
