Apple sues developers for leaking Tiger build via BitTorrent
Loose lips have been sinking ships recently, and
Apple this week filed yet another lawsuit
regarding a product leak. This time, three developers have been charged with posting a pre-release version of the
upcoming Tiger operating system to the internet via the BitTorrent file-sharing network.
The lawsuit was filed Monday and seeks an injunction against further leakages, as well as an unspecified amount of
monetary damages. The developer release was first posted in late October, with further postings continuing through this
month. Over 2,500 copies of the unreleased Tiger OS are thought to have been downloaded.

October? I first saw Tiger on a BitTorrent site around July or August. (Though I didn't download it -- didn't feel like messing up my new G5 with a preview release.)
