Pathos:
WTF Copyright law allows for partial duplication of any document for criticism that isn't protected due to national security etc

Apple has been throwing the law at everyone lately. They do it to hush up any mistakes to keep an image that they are flawless (which apparently is not quite the truth according to some unverified sources..).

I think it is fair to judge a company by any action they take. If they don't like it they should change what they do.

piratePenguin:
They should release the damn thing under something like the GNU Free Documentation License. What does it matter if people can repair the machines they bought?

They're probably making thousands outta not giving everyone the information to repair the machines. PATETHIC.

I agree ... and I think the rabbit hole goes deeper still ... I don't believe that Apple has any interest in making things right or well, otherwise they would have embraced the guy and told him thanks for finding this little mishap and bringing it to our attention SO WE CAN FIX IT !

Well, I suppose it could be just the legal department, which is none too friendly, by why hasn't the rest of the Apple corporation stepped in and said, hey wait a minute, this ain't right ... have they done this or do they plan on it ?

Just like how not everything at Microsoft is evil.

Besides, someone at Slashdot mentioned this.  Who isn't to say this whole thing isn't a stunt?  After all, Apple legal does go after everybody, right?

well part of it is they can charge the computer repairers to be "authorized".

motorcycle companies also do it but they require the repairers to goto to seminars to make sure they are upto date with any new developments / complexities in the engines and drivechain so that they know what they are doing.
