Apple Settles with Tiger Leaker
The Hobo writes "CNet is carrying a story about Apple reaching a settlement with one of the Tiger leakers, 22-year-old Doug Steigerwald. The terms of the settlement were not released, but it was said that money will be paid to Apple. To quote Doug, 'As a member of Apple's Developer Connection program I received a pre-release version of Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' software, which I promised to keep confidential, instead, I disseminated it over the Internet, and thousands of unauthorized copies of Apple's software were illegally distributed to the public'"
at the zoo, and boy let me tell you they must drink a lot!
I am sure that the admission of guilt was in no way a coherced condition of the settlement terms... :-)

OSX is better. Windows only has memory leaks!
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
the case has been settled, and everyone's happy...
:)
Where's my torrent?

What's sad here is, he likely got pressured into giving up a copy or two to some friends, who probably SWORE they wouldn't share it.
;-)
Since one his friends is named "BitTorrent" he should've known that friend was going to share it.
Thanks, dude... I always said that Slashdot needed a spell checker for comments.
Since you obviously have nothing better to do in your life, I would say you should get the job!

I'm pretty sure the public announcement was part of the settlement, kind of like when we make celebrities caught snorting coke of a ten year old boy's ass make a public service announcement about the dangers of illegal drugs.

Of course, this *is* /.
I'm not sure that I've ever seen anyone claim that.
You're filtering stories too high.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
Bet you feel like an ass.
I'm sorry Mr. Coward, but that is incorrect. I have just conducted a search of your last 200 posts, and many of them contained significant errors. ;)

"While Apple will always protect its innovations, it is not our desire to send students to jail," Apple said in a statement to CNET News.com.
Yeah, I forgot that Apple had the ability to bring criminal charges against private citizens. Remember back in 2001 when congress passed a bill making it legal for Apple to prosecute people criminally. They even had an episode of Law and Order where Apple bought down a reputed mob boss for a contract killing.
Yeaaaa Apple!!! Keep'on keepin' our streets safe!
I dunno, for some reason that explanation sounds gay.

To the best of my knowledge, no one's ever downloaded a prerelease album in order to get a headstart on developing exploits for it.
Spelling, grammar, punctuation? We need something that checks logic.
