Apple Backs Off DMCA Threats Against Wiki

netbuzz writes "A wiki operator who was pressured by Apple's legal team into removing anonymous discussions about circumventing the company's music-playback software for iPods and iPhones says he is relieved that Apple has backed off and he'll be able to restore the disputed material. Apple dropped its claims of copyright and DMCA violation against BluWiki only under legal pressure of its own in the form of a lawsuit by the Electronic Frontier Foundation."

more frequently between marketing and legal, im certain random DMCA lawsuits against high profile social services like wikipedia that stand for the common good would never see the light of day.

its like the legal arm of apple is some sort of Gestapo, a silent and deadly KGB willing to erase anyone who crosses party lines or speak future truths before the mighty apple legion makes them known.

alright, maybe im getting a touch fanatical. but the first rule of the computing system for fun and easy of use cant be modelled after fight club.
