Interesting reading:
``Römer said she only planned to sell branded mugs, keyrings and carrier bags, but was unhappy with a clause in the settlement stating that she could not talk about any of the correspondence between her and Apple. ``"I have people coming into my cafe on a daily basis, asking me what is going on with Apple," she told the regional television network WDR. "If I couldn't have talked about the outcome at all, that would have been very strange." ``Apple declined to comment on the issue.''
[Last line] Says it all really. What have Apple got to hide about their correspondence with Apfelkind? Though I noted from the "Patently Absurd" programme on Radio 4 a little while back that one troll said that NDAs are included to stop the recipients going and suing back (except one recipient of such a letter did not agree but went and sued the troll back [and won IIRC]).
Another American company trying to apply bully boy tactics but forgetting that the world is not USA and that different countries have their own local laws (as SCO forgot: very soon after SCO loudly claimed infringement a German court told them to put up or shut up - needless to say, SCO had all the evidence available so they shut up! How much shorter would the SCO saga have been if it had not been tried in USA; and how much money would not have been wasted?)
So sad that the only thing most American[ corporation]s see is $$$$$$ to the point where the only people who actually see the $$$$$$ are the lawyers.

Yep. Good reading. Apple trying to gag an overseas resident is laughable. They really think USA is the world. Got some spare time to read an (although unrelated) extreme example of all this absurdity ? Check here
