Apple Continues War Against Blogs

December 23rd 2007 10:28
Who said Apple was into all the hip stuff? When it involves something as incriminating as rumours or comments about Apple's behaviour or even comment on matters as a self confessed 'fake' Apple employee and (*gasp*) Apple attacks. Now famous Steve Jobs impersonator 'Fake Steve Jobs' is being threatened by the Apple legal team.

From his Blog:

This is followed by a recommendation that I retain an attorney to represent me. And then, I swear to friggin God, there's a list of my assets with an estimated value for each and I suppose the implied threat that I stand to lose them. Which kinda scares the living shit out of me, to be honest, since they've got a pretty thorough list, which means they've been doing some research on this and the offer didn't just come out of thin air. Their lists includes my home address, most recent assessed value of my house and all the information about my mortgage; a rental property that we own; my bank accounts and investment accounts, including the college funds for our kids, whose names are used; and our boat and two cars.

It should be noted that Fake Steve Jobs is in fact a professional writer who was most recently hired by Forbes. In any case the question must be asked, what has happened to freedom of the press?

That is crazy, like in the movies, getting threatened w/ I know where you live and i'll take your livelihood from you.

Is there a way to fight back from threats from a big corporate bully? Or must the little guy give in to save his hide, as there is no protection.

That is sad and makes me want to prepare for when I hit the mark on some conspiracy or something.

The fact that the blogger has a great following means that the corporates have to tread the waters carefully. The blogosphere does wield a lot of power in bringing issues to mainstream.

Scary stuff. The Apple Mafia.

Reminds me of a classic De Niro scene:

'..I want him DEAD, I want his family DEAD, I want his house burned to the GROUND...'
