Apple vs Bloggers

Moby Cock writes "Jason O'Grady has posted a story on his ZDNet blog detailing the state of the current legal trouble he is embroiled in with Apple. He views it as another salvo in Apple's efforts to stamp out rumour sites posting 'trade secrets' prior to the official announcements. The discussion becomes rather pointed and goes as far as to suggest that the case is really a case in support of freedom of the press." From the article: "At issue was a series of stories that I ran in October 2004 about an upcoming product that was in development. Was it the next great PowerBook? Maybe the a red hot iPod? Maybe a killer new version of the OS? Nah. The stories about a FireWire breakout box for GarageBand, code-named 'Asteroid.' Yawn."

Re:Symphathy for Apple

I feel bad for Ford, imagine the money they are losing from Fram oil filters, Valvoline oil, BBS rims, Ventshade bug deflectors, Bridgestone tires, a Sears battery, and Pioneer car stereos. Oh the pity... Not to mention the all of the independent mechanics using non Ford purchased tools using manuals and guides not published by Ford. Oh the shame, I feel so bad.

I sure wish I had those mod points form last week now, this post sets a LOT of perspective on the matter.
