At least Porsche in not like Apple...

Apple Computer is suing a Harvard student for disclosing new Apple products before they are announced. Its good the Porsche does not do this or we would not have any advanced information on any new models!

Re: At least Porsche in not like Apple...

Several interesting comments...
"I can't think of an instance in which a corporation would sue its own fans. I haven't heard anything like this."

"it was possible that Apple was suing Think Secret to generate publicity."

"Just because you receive something on the internet does not mean you have a green light to do whatever you want with it,"

Re: At least Porsche in not like Apple...

Job's is acting like a spoiled little kid. Such silliness. How about taking the fees now going to their sheisters and spending that on imacs for inner city schools.

Give me and that little kid a break.

And porshe should only worry when we don't care to find out what is next in the product pipeline.

Apple is supposed to be an intelligent company. This is idiocy. A fan releasing information like this is exciting to apple users and can be seen as some of the best free advertising.

Just fiction:
1. I sign a non-disclosure agreement not to speak in detail about what I'm seeing during a certain event or visit to Porsche and/or Weissach development.
2. I post detailled information about what I saw and experienced during such an event/visit

Now guess what happens? Right...Porsche's law department sends me greetings.

Of course above is just fiction.

I don't know the whole story behind the Apple Secrets thing but there must be something behind it. Otherwise Apple wouldn't sue this guy. Or maybe it is really just a publicity trick and the whole thing goes down the drain.

Re: At least Porsche in not like Apple...

RC, I think you are correct. Your Ficticious scenario is probably close to the reality of the situation.
