RIP OSx86 Project? (Engadget)

Feb 17th 2006 11:27AM No one is dealing with the important issue here.
Forget the issue of whether this is illegal or not, or moral or not:
Apple shut down a FORUM!!!!

A forum cannot distribute software*, or "circumvention devices." a forum is just that; A forum for speech. Facts can't be copyrighted, and spouting facts, however evil it may be, cannot be stopped by a law (in the US) unless it's inflammatory and violent.

So how can a company justify shutting down a forum for speech? This is like those best-buy takedown notices.

(*If the forum had LINKS to actual pirated code or actual circumvention material like patches, then disregard this rant. Then they are probably culpable.)
