Apple usually manages to shut stuff down by revoking the offending vendor's SDK, which according to the terms of the EULA they have every right to do; this is what they did with the P2P sharing software for iTunes.
As far as copyright violations go, any time you reverse-engineer something containing encryption, you open yourself to a DMCA violation, which is a (bad) extension of the copyright fact and federal law. 7 years and/or $250k fine. Encryption is, of course, whatever Apple's lawyers can convince a jury to believe it is. American justice is great; most money wins.
