Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is already unhappy with and in litigation over Amazon?s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Appstore, and now Amazon appears to be pulling one over on Apple with its music store as well.
The claim Apple has made against Amazon is a mere battle of semantics, as Apple claims ?App store? is not a generic term for a store for applications, and therefore can and does belong to Apple, while Amazon argues the opposite. As the owner of the ?App Store? trademark, Apple is looking for a court to validate its claim to the term, but a U.S. magistrate judge has ordered the two companies to meet on March 21st to settle the case between themselves.

So, without their last fight settled, Amazon is throwing punches again, but this time, Apple has little recourse.
Amazon?s Cloud Player, which sits in direct competition to iTunes, already poses a real threat to Apple?s music service with its competitive pricing. Now, Amazon is offering a Cloud Player app for iOS devices through Apple?s own App Store, which should get a 30 percent cut of the app purchases and music purchases, per the terms of Apple?s normal agreement with app developers. Amazon has a library of over 22 million songs and 2 million albums, and could be looking at significant sales, which means Apple could be looking at a significant revenue source ? that is, if there were a cut to be taken?
