Apple Suing Anonymous Product Info Leakers
from the there-they-go-again dept
Steve Jobs is someone who takes his surprise product launches seriously. In fact, it was a bit surprising yesterday when an Apple representative gave much more info than usual concerning Apple's work in the mobile phone space (though, this may have been misinterpreted by many who are talking it up today). It's completely out of character. What's much more in character, is sending the pack of lawyers after anyone who dares to break the embargo on information, and today Apple sued some unnamed people for releasing info about their products prior to launch. Are they going to sue their own VP in charge of products who made the mobile phone slip?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
