Hiawatha Bray has an excellent column in the Boston Globe today explaining just what’s wrong with Apple’s suit against a fan who blogged about an upcoming product. Nicholas Ciarelli published information given to him by Apple employees. Hiawatha asks:

“What would happen if Apple employees sent their secrets to me, and I made them the subject of next week’s column. Would Apple sue The Boston Globe? We should be so lucky. No, Apple decided to tee off on a 19-tear-old kid, hoping to make an example of him. It’s a bonehead play…

Maybe Apple has forgotten how much of its extraordinary rebirth is due to fans like Ciarelli…”

So, if you have a Mac, how are you letting Apple know what you think of its bullying behavior?
