That's pretty cold and heartless. I understand defending your trademarks and all, but beating a 9 yr old into the ground AFTER he complies with everything you asked is too much. ALL his profits? Ugh. He never pretended to be Apple and it was very clear that they weren't official Apple products.
- something 15y agohe's 17
- SriniK 15y agoSick to see apple following sony in suing a hacker - in this case hacker in cutting their supply chain. Irony is Jobs and Woz were known to have hacked the telephone system. Jobs accepted it as his start, his interest into getting into electronics and roots of apple.
- SeoxyS 15y agoTerribly misinformed comment. First of all, he's is definitely not a 9 year old. He's 17. Also this is one of the least objective stories I've seen on HN in a while. It makes no mention of Apple withdrawing the suit upon successful settlement.
- AllenKids 15y ago1. The lawsuit was filed and dismissed at the same day, all by the plaintiff, Apple. 2. The kid is 17. 3. The panels were Apple's components, just faulty ones that should never be released to the public. 4. Don't want be sued? Don't infringe other's lawful right. Want live like a true pirate? Prepare to get shot at. All is fair game.
- wccrawford 15y agoMy mistake. I see where I got 9 from. So... Yeah, not as cold and heartless as I thought then. By 17, he should be able to understand trademarks and whatnot.
