Apple goes after MacBidouille

apple logoApple's legal team has issued a cease and desist order to MacBidouille, a French Mac-fan website, in response to the detailed information and BitTorrent links they posted to videos demonstrating how to run Mac OS X on Intel-based non-Mac hardware.

Lionel from MacBidouille claims that they were threatened "aggressively" by Apple's lawyers and they have removed the links in question - but not without making a ridiculous comment first: "If Apple was not expecting this to happen and did not measure the consequences," he told MacOSXRumors, "they ought to think about it seriously. They’re now dealing with a world (the PC world) that has less respect for Apple than Mac users do. Dealing with this world also implies dealing with hackers that now have Apple in target."

What a crock! Mac users have been behaving badly and hurting Apple on their own for quite some time. Blaming the PC world for a trend that we're quite familiar with is either naive on his (our?) part or just plain cowardly.
