I guess that you are right, and that it is a North American thing? It certainly would not happen over here, largely because of what MsM has said.

Anyways, much as they like money, lawyers over here don't like to take on stuff that would demean their reputation..............

One is actually protected by their greed

EDIT: update:

From what I read here maybe Apple should be suing TD

allenb~ yes I saw some comments about those Apple suits. As I understood it, people who were in a trusted position and got pre-release copies of OS-X had posted information regarding Tiger, contrary to their EULA which requires secrecy.

Nothing unusual there as the versions are probably beta, and you don't want anyone commenting on betas without permission. Just as if you download an AV trial you are not allowed to use it to publish comparisons.
