Spotify et al. akhononde nge-Apple kuKhomishini YaseYurophu, ngenxa yokuhlukunyezwa kwesikhundla sabo

USpotify ubelokhu ekhuluma ngokumelene ne-Apple kanye nenqubomgomo yayo yamanani isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka. Akathandi ukuthi i-Apple "isebenzisa kabi isikhundla sayo semakethe" ngokuthatha okuningi kakhulu kokubhaliselwe okuthengwa ngamasevisi ayo. Ngakho izinkampani zenza imali encane kune-Apple, engathathi zimali. Leli cala selihlale isikhathi eside impela, u-Apple wenza izivumelwano phakathi nonyaka, kodwa nalokho kungokukaSpotify et al. kancane. Izinkampani ezingeneme manje seziphendukele kuKhomishini YaseYurophu ukuzama "ukulinganisa inkundla yokudlala".

I-Spotify, i-Deezer nezinye izinkampani ezibandakanyekayo ekusabalaliseni okuqukethwe kwedijithali zingemuva kwalesi siphakamiso. Inkinga yabo enkulu ukuthi izinkampani ezinkulu ezifana ne-Apple ne-Amazon kuthiwa zisebenzisa kabi isikhundla sazo semakethe, ezivuna izinsizakalo ezihlinzekayo. Iqembu lezinkampani laze lathumela incwadi kuMongameli we-European Commission, uJean-Claude Juncker. Bambuza ukuthi i-European Union, noma I-European Commission ikhuthaze ukusungulwa kwezimo ezilinganayo kubo bonke abasebenza kule makethe.

I-Spotify, ngokwesibonelo, ayithandi i-Apple ukuthi ithathe u-30% wokubhaliselwe okukhokhelwa ngamasevisi abo (baze bayeluleka ungayenza kanjani iSpotify eshibhile uma uthenga ngaphandle kwe-App Store). I-Apple isivele iphendule kule nkinga ngonyaka odlule lapho ilungisa imigomo yayo ukuze ngemva konyaka ikhomishini yokubhalisa izoncishiswa ibe yi-15%, kodwa lokhu akwanele ezinkampanini. Ngakho-ke inani lale khomishana libeka abahlinzeki bokuqukethwe abancane "okungeyona eyesistimu" kusimo esibucayi esingokoqobo. Nakuba izintengo zezinsizakalo zingafana, ikhomishini izokwenza izinkampani ezithintekayo zibe ngaphansi kwe-Apple, okunengqondo engeke izikhokhise noma iyiphi imali.

Kuzothakazelisa kakhulu ukubona ukuthi leli cala liqala kanjani (uma kunjalo). Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isikhundla sikaSpotify et al. kuyaqondakala njengoba belahlekelwa yimali futhi bangase bazizwe bencishwe amathuba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, yi-Apple eyenza inkundla yayo itholakale kubo ngenani elikhulu lamakhasimende angaba khona. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Apple iphatha zonke izenzo ezihambisana nokukhokhela okubhaliselwe, okudinga futhi inani elithile lomzamo (ukuthola izinkokhelo, ukuhambisa imali, ukuxazulula izinkinga zokukhokha, ukuphoqelela imisebenzi yokukhokha, njll.). Ngakho-ke inani lekhomishana kuyaphikiswana ngalo. Ekugcineni, nokho, akekho ophoqa iSpotify ukuthi inikeze ukubhaliswa kwayo nge-Apple. Nokho, uma benza kanjalo, bakwenza ngokuvumelana nemibandela ebekwe ngokucacile.

I-European Regulatory Authority ithini ngicela? Ingabe ikhona futhi? Angicabangi kanjalo (bese ngivula ibhulokhi yezikhangiso).

[David Hanak]

I-athikili yomthombo yalungiswa ngemva kokushicilelwa kwalesi sihloko, futhi igama alisaveli kuyo (livele lithi "Abalawuli be-EU"). Akulona igunya elicacile njengalokhu, kodwa ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso lingasetshenziswa ezikhungweni ezimbalwa ze-EU ezibhekana nomthetho (kulokhu, kuhloswe iKhomishini YaseYurophu)

Ngakho mhlawumbe uma ngibhala isihloko, ngizobona ukuthi simayelana nani. Isihloko sokuqala ngokusobala sivela e-USA, lapho bengazazi izikhungo zaseYurophu, kodwa eCzech Republic kufanele mhlawumbe sazi izikhungo zethu eziyisisekelo. Lokhu akulona icala elidlulisiwe, le ajenda, ecacile (futhi ngendlela, i-ajenda efanayo e-USA, lapho yaqala khona). Yebo, yiKhomishini YaseYurophu (I-Directorate-General for Competition).

Leso sihloko siwubudlabha ngokuphelele.

[I-FMX]

Angazi ukuthi babhekene nani. Kuphakathi kokuthi ngifuna isisekelo esibanzi sabasebenzisi abasebenzisa i-iOS futhi anginakho ukukhetha ngaphandle kokungena kugeyimu yekhomishini, noma akufanele ukukhokha ikhomishini bese ngizogxila kuwo wonke umhlaba. Ngiyaqonda ukuthi bafuna ukwenza imali eningi ngangokunokwenzeka, kodwa lokhu kuyihlaya.

[injabulo]

Sicela ulinde umthombo ongcono ukuze uthole umbono. Okungcono kakhulu ukuphenya isisusa. Ngibona ukwephulwa okungenzeka lapho, kodwa ngaphandle kolwazi oluhle akunakwenzeka ukwenza isiphetho.

[Vladislav Rehak]

Anginalutho engimelene ne-Apple, kodwa lokhu kuwuhlaka. Manje ake sengeze kulokho ukuphela kokungathathi hlangothi okuphelele e-US futhi umqondo wokuthi insizakalo ethile izosebenza ngokushesha kune-Apple cishe akunakwenzeka.
