If someone brought a copyright infringement suit against a developer, Apple would certainly be named, because they have profited from the infringement (their 30% cut from each sale). Apple may try to claim protection from the safe harbor clause of the DMCA, but the fact that they're making money from copyright infringement would not look good in court. Still, I'm not a lawyer so what do I know?

That's between the developers and the owners of the material in question. As someone who makes a living from intellectual property, I am in no way diminishing the importance of copyright, nor am I condoning the plagiarism that developers are committing. But the onus is not on Apple to "police" copyright issues. You're perhaps confusing copyright with Apple's own approval process for apps, based upon its own app criteria. But Apple is under no obligation to check every app for possible copyright violations. Think about what you're suggesting: How could Apple possibly police every single, submitted app for all art work, icons, and UI elements, sounds, game content, methods of computing, and so forth? Impossible. That's between the developers and the owners of copyrighted material. Developers who copy without permission should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Apple's only responsibility is to remove such apps, once formal complaints have been issued. Copyright is not Apple’s responsibility in the least.

Actually i think copyright should be a matter of the developer BEFORE even start coding. Also i think Apple Store policies and filters are already restrictive enough, i'd rather prefere a "far west" section of the appstore, instead of a "premium-polished-sexy-looking-best-friend" section. I agree sometimes copyrights are more a legal matter with no practical match in real life.
