A federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed by the music streaming app Musi against Apple, affirming that Apple has the right to remove apps from the App Store 'with or without cause.' The ruling, made by Judge Eumi Lee, also included sanctions against Musi's law firm for presenting factually baseless claims during the proceedings.
