Apple refused to issue Gizmodo 's press pass and it is probably because Apple got a prototype before "iPhone 4" announcement

BySharon Hahn Darlin

I took it at a tavernI purchased "iPhone 4G (tentative)" fourth generation "iPhone 4" for $ 5000 and got it, GizmodoAlthough it touched Apple's bad scales and applied for a press pass to attend the keynote lecture of WWDC where "iOS 4" was announced, it seems that it has been dismissed.

Apple denies Gizmodo press pass for WWDC Keynote - iPod / iPhone - Macworld UK

Gizmodo said "It's not surprising" about the refusal to issue WWDC keynote speech press pass, "Apple has not reacted anything about the request we wanted to attend the WWDC Keynote lecture." If it is as usual it will be live update from the venue of WWDC to update live, but this time it has become impossible to enter, so we hurriedly picked up from the people who go to the keynote lecture of WWDC for Gizmodo " People who want to send live video and audio and provide instant messages and high resolution images from the keynote speaking venue "seems to be recruited. In addition, it seems that we prepared a battery pack for interview, CDMA 3G data communication for communication, telephoto lens, laptop computer which can upload images quickly, but it seems that it did not work.

This is the actual WWDC venue.

According to it, the conference record between Apple and the police has been clarified and it seems to have been as follows.

The published material also revealed the pattern of a meeting held between April 20th and Apple 's executives and the police. Apple's outside lawyer, George Riley, also attended the meeting.

Matthew Broad led the investigation According to the criminal documents, Apple says, "People who may have purchased existing Apple products started to wait for the release of new products and blow a blow to Apple sales It was told that it had an adverse effect on the profit given. " In addition, Riley lawyers insisted that they can not estimate the loss, but will be "a huge amount" of money. "

I do not know exactly whether the trial of damages actually will occur or not, but the site which had posted various leak information about Apple products in the past has been appealed by Apple from trial.

This is not the first time that Apple has filed a lawsuit aimed at identifying information leaks. In August 2000, the company also filed a lawsuit to identify internal reporters using the pseudonym "worker bee".

In this case, Apple appealed to clarify the person who provided the information, the California High Court ordered information disclosure, but EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation)But,Appeals as "Journalists are entitled to protect sources of information", In May 2006 the court "On source confidentiality Online journalists have the same rights as offline reporters"We made a decision. Even then, the negotiations for reconciliation with other sites appealed by other Apple continued under the water, eventually one of them Apple Fan Site"Think Secret" closes the site instead of disclosing the information source to the end until the endIt seems to be done.

In the case of Gizmodo this time, someone may be tried from Apple in the future because somebody knows who they picked up, who they picked up, who they bought, and so on. If possible, I would like Apple to do more positive constructive activities, not childish and childish means such as WWDC keynote speech refusal to issue press pass like this time.
