Apple copyright and bloggers
The products that Apple offers you can love, you can hate them, but this is not about its products as such. I will tell you about how “Yablochniki” relate to those who somehow encroach on their copyright.
Two unpleasant events happened recently:
Event 1:
In August, www.techcrunch.com received a letter from Apple, in which Apple demanded that techcrunch remove a video clip from the site, which demonstrated the features of OS X 10.5. ( letter ) In principle, this would be logical, but the problem is that the video itself was stored on youtube.com.

Event 2:
More recently, someone created an iPhone-like theme for Windows Mobile. Through the efforts of bloggers, this news quickly spread around the world. One of the bloggers, Paul O'Brien , gave a link to a page where you can download this topic. Apple representatives responded very quickly and sent him a letter . The funny thing is that an iPhone-theme for Palm recently appeared, it was written about tuaw.com. Apple is silent :)
In the first case, Apple, instead of simply writing a Youtube request to remove the video from the site, threatens the bloggers who cited the video.
In the second case, instead of searching for the author of the WM-topic, he writes letters to those who only wrote a post about this event.
Moreover, this is not the first case of the manifestation of Apple's dislike for bloggers; there was also a precedent when Apple took up the grip of Think Secret , accusing the author of the blog of disclosing secret information.

In fact, Apple is not the first and not the only one who is engaged in this kind of activity, and there is an unpleasant trend that shows that instead of searching for the guilty, it is easier for companies to shut up those who tell the public about it.
