... some more details
are emerging regarding the Apple complaint against its fan site, Think Secret. This one is particularly interesting:
Quote:
Milgrim and Harvard Law Professor Lloyd L. Weinreb, when told by a Crimson reporter about the case, said Ciarelli [the person behind Think Secret] might have a difficult time defending his actions.
"If that student is inviting people to give him information that was violating a trade secret he might be liable as a contributory infringer," Weinreb said. An infringer violates the law directly, but a contributory infringer knows about the infringement and facilitates it in some way.

I am curious how this will turn out. A case management conference will be held on May 3.
