It is not fair enough.

Lets leave aside for now the utter stupidity of sueing your own *FAN* sites. This is probably the biggest PR own goal since MacDonalds went after those small-time leaflet distributors.

I want to live in a world with a free press. I do not want Apple to be able to gag anybody from discussing whatever they like (with the obvious exception of anything libellous).

As for your comments on Microsoft and catch up... You what? MS are the Market Leader, and it is Apple who are playing catch up. It is nonsensical to believe that tarnishing their public image, sueing *FAN* sites and being seen as an opponent of free speech is going to do anything to help them with this.

One of the few strengths that Apple have been able to rely on is their image. They are dangerously harming that image now.
