If you think the NDA is unreasonable, don't agree to it and don't take possession of the hardware.
If you do accept it and violate it, be prepared for consequences.
- sitkack 11y agoHow about take possession and then ignore? The world isn't isn't so black and white.
- mikeash 11y agoI see little room for shades of gray in a scenario where someone gives you $150 of hardware for free and all they ask in exchange is that you wait two months before talking about it.
- bmelton 11y agoWell, that's what they did. It's called lying (or in legalese, violation of contract) and the repercussions are that their relationship with Apple is damaged. This might well be the last pre-release thing they ever receive from Apple. So, sure, things aren't black and white, but they didn't exactly leave room for Apple to respond positively, especially given Apple's rather well known positions on leaked information.
- sitkack 11y agoI love how a bunch of nerds get super upset over iFixit doing a teardown on prerelease hardware (lying, violation of contract (shrink wrap at that)). So much easier than getting upset about things that matter. I'd say it ranks about as high as jaywalking.
