  • legacy media, n. books and films (as opposed to apps)

    The Guardian, 27 June 2015:

    he problem with Apple’s attitude to games isn’t just that it treats them differently to books and music, though. After all, there are undeniable differences between them: no book can hack your device, no song can download pirated content, and no movie can abuse in-app payments. All of those factors necessitate some sort of review process above and beyond what legacy media needs.
