What happens when a seasoned antitrust attorney turns his attention to the digital giants of our age? In this week’s episode of MissionCTRL, Ramon and the PD flight crew sit down with Gene Burrus, a man whose career has taken him from being an antitrust attorney at American Airlines, Microsoft and Spotify to championing fairness in the app marketplace. Gene joined us from his home in Oregon to share with us some landmark cases and battles he continues to fight to keep things fair for the independent developer. This isn’t just a discussion about legalities—it’s a deep dive into leveling the playing field for the little guys: app software developers and small businesses. Burrus hasn’t merely observed the changing tides of the tech industry; he’s been at the helm, challenging monopolistic practices and pushing for a fair terrain to compete.
If you’ve ever wondered how antitrust laws affect the mobile apps you use every day—or if you’re a creator looking to survive in a market dominated by giants—this episode is for you. Gene takes us behind the scenes of his work at appfairness.org, an organization he founded to give small developers a fighting chance. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that blends legal insight with the drive for innovation, and discover why fairness in tech is not just an industry issue—it’s a societal one.
