Because it concerned my clients — the musicians.
Apple says “we want to sell all of your clients’ music now”.
I post something on the company blog, read mainly by my clients, saying Apple wants to sell your music now.
- sytelus 5y agoIn all honesty, your slashdot post contains massive amount of proprietary Apple information that was disclosed to you, valuable statistics, Apple’s business plan and what not. This was at the time when Apple was vulnerable and much bigger competitors could have easily eaten their lunch. I can’t believe they had no NDAs. I think the original article is bit one sided story.
- TheRealPomax 5y agoIf there were no NDAs, every single bit of that "proprietary information" was public information.
- rexpop 5y agoAre you seriously appealing to sentimental sympathies right now? Apple is and was an entirely for-profit entity whose vendors are likewise. And we're supposed to extend one another sympathy? There are limits to professional courtesy.
- kevingadd 5y agoIf Apple was so vulnerable, failing to get attendees to sign NDAs was just more severe incompetence of the kind that made them vulnerable. It's not someone else's job to babysit them.
- ekanes 5y agoIf a deal is inked, you can post, but even then usually you’d check in about messaging. I think you were just super pumped :) but it’s still a faux pas.
- givemeethekeys 5y agoIt’s odd that they forgot to make y’all sign something. I wonder why they played it that way. But let’s say that they were in a rush and forgot. Then, why the anger when an apology and a sincere request would have been just as good. And why was Jobs such a dick about it afterwards? To me, it seems that he was angry that someone was making money off the artists before he was.
