Reason to sue

Post #189,516 by tuberculosis 1/9/05 6:38:32 PM Reply	Reason to sue is not about "this time". Secret is out. Harm done. Now how to keep it from happening again? Negative reinforcement seems to be the best bet. Punish the perps as an example to others. Incidentally, this stuff doesn't even have to be true. Apple under Jobs has long made systematic use of misinformation to provide wrong fact "signatures" that make hunting down leaks easier. So this stuff may or may not even be completely true.

You also can't claim you didn't want the information leaked if it was an intentional falsehood designed to identify leaks. If your characterization is correct, it seems like a decent practice to identify leaks. It seems like a terrible basis for prosecution. And as for negative reinforcement, the defendant in this case isn't the leak. If they are pursuing litigation as a punishment, that's the very definition of a SLAPP case. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
