Content Rights for an app that uses the Safari component to display web pages?

Question

When submitting an app to the Mac App Store it's asking me this questions:

Content Rights

Does your app contain, display, or access third-party content?

Do you have all necessary rights to that content or are you otherwise permitted to use it under the laws of each App Store territory in which your app is available?

My app uses the Safari component to display web pages, so, it can display third party content, and I believe I don't need any permission to do so the same way any other vendor doesn't need permission to produce a browser.

Answer 1

Using the component to wrap an entire site to make it look like an app and present it as your own is probably an "offense". But clearly showing that web pages are loaded and displaying them as they were intended by the website creators could not be an offense. It would go against the entire structure of the WWW. If some people actually do put websites on the publicly accessible web and want to keep it private they did something wrong to start with :). It can't be the responsibility of each and every browser developer to keep track of that. And a browser is a browser, if it's on a mobile device or a desktop. So it would be ground breaking if this would be judged otherwise. And if it was, it could probably easily be contested. Not to mention the sh*t storm that it would start online if this was their public stance :)
