Murderdrome Banned by Apple

Is Apple guilty of censorship? After Infurious Comics' "Murderdrome" comic book was rejected by Apple's iPhone App Store earlier this week, they've asked visitors of their website for support in its request to Apple for a rating system similar to one already used on iTunes.

Apple turned down the comic book claiming that it violated a section of an SDK agreement which states: "Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.) or other content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgment may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users."

Even though the Infurious web site continues to run early episodes, the Murderdrome project has been placed on temporary hold while they focus on other titles "which will be more Apple friendly, artist PJ Holden said in a Q&A with TechRadar UK.
