Apple Agrees to Hold Off on Subpoenas

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the avoiding-a-pr-nightmare dept.

ido writes "Apple has agreed to hold off on serving subpoenas related to their John Doe civil suits against some free press journalists to reveal sources releasing Apple's "trade secrets." This is related to a previous article." The original story has some more background info as well. While Apple is notorious for its secrecy before MacWorlds, Apple probably figured out that dragging people into court usually does little for one's popularity.

    Thanks Apple. It's ridiculous to sue an Apple enthusiast website.

    As usual Apple is full of crap. Once you tell someone out side your organization, it's no longer a trade secret, NDA or not. If you fully intend to release this information for public consumption as they intend to do anyway then it is not a trade secret and it matters not the kind of BS spin Apple wants to put on it.

    What the real skinny is some one violated their NDA.... that's all this is really about. Anything more is just smoke and mirrors.
