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."

So NO to Apple Astroturfing

[Anonymous Coward]

I think one of the best sites about Apple is mac-sucks.com.

Pretty funny and is in stark contrast to usual Apple's astroturfing.

If Joe Blogger got the information in question as an inside tip from somebody he can reasonably expect to be an Apple insider who's not authorized to disclose it, then he has broken a law.

Which is simply ridiculous.
