Apple Defendants Interviewed

evands writes "There's an interview with Desicanuk, one of three named defendants in the Apple lawsuit alleging illegal distribution of a Tiger developer build, and Nessence, one of two administrators of MacTKA, the Mac BitTorrent tracker site where the build was initially posted, up at DrunkenBlog. The interview tells the whole story as a press release can not, from how Apple determined the kids to sue, to lawyers knocking on doors on Christmas Eve, and beyond. 'Collateral Damage' is a fascinating read which humanizes the whole messy situation."

Hhhmmmm, Steve Jobs played The Grinch this year?

Knocking on doors at Christmas Eve? Couldn't they have waited until the holidays were over? Not like the kids were going anywhere.

Want to stop the Bit Torrent? Take down the tracking URL. That is how many Bit Torrents are shut down.

Amazing that OSX is based on open sourced software which was meant to be shared, yet has a commercial license preventing it from being shared.

The horrors, when Pepsi had those MP3 Pirate Kids on their commercials that had free downloads from iTunes. Now Apple is going after almost the same type of kids, only these kids use Macs and share the latest OSX over the Internet.

Yes Steve Jobs played the role of The Grinch is past year, took away their Christmas. Maybe his heart was two times too small, maybe his head wasn't screwed on just right? ;)
