January 14, 2007 at 21:37Apple Copyright and Bloggers
You can love the products that Apple offers, you can hate them, but this is not about its products as such. I will tell you about how the “Yabloko” relate to those who at least somehow encroach on their copyright.
More recently, two unpleasant events have occurred:
Event 1:
In August, www.techcrunch.com received an email from Apple in which Apple demanded that techcrunch remove a video from the site demonstrating OS X 10.5 features. ( letter ) In principle, this would be logical, but the problem is that the video itself was stored on youtube.com.
Event 2:
Most recently, someone created an iPhone-like theme for Windows Mobile. Through the efforts of bloggers, this news quickly spread throughout the world. One of the bloggersPaul O'Brien , gave a link to a page where you can download this topic. Apple representatives reacted very quickly and sent him an email . The funny thing is that the iPhone-theme for Palm has recently appeared, they wrote about this on tuaw.com. Apple is silent for now :)
In the first case, Apple, instead of just writing Youtube a request to remove the video from the site, threatens the bloggers who referred to this video.
In the second case, instead of searching for the author of a WM topic, he writes letters to those who only wrote a post about this event.
Moreover, this is not the first case of Apple's dislike for bloggers, it was still a precedent when Apple took up the Think Secretaccusing the blog author of revealing classified information.

In fact, Apple is not the first and not the only one to engage in this kind of activity, and there is an unpleasant tendency, showing that instead of finding the guilty, it is easier for companies to shut up those who talk about this public.
