- Apple (NASD: AAPL) has been sued by digital civil liberties group the Electronic Frontier
Foundation (EFF) over its stifling of discussion about methods of putting
non-Apple software on iPhones and iPods on the Internet. Apple sent OdioWorks,
the operator of a website called BluWiki where users were discussing such
methods, a letter demanding the discussions be removed. The company argues that
the discussions violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), under
which it is a crime to circumvent copy-protection security measures.
