DrunkenBlog Interview With Tiger File Sharing Defendant

In another recent legal filing, last month Apple filed suit against three people for file-sharing a beta build of Tiger via BitTorrent. DrunkenBlog has an interesting interview with one of the defendants. Choice quote:

I made the foolish assumption that since I wasn’t a developer, and I had a copy that it would be ok if I shared it with 5 or 6 fellow mac fanatics.

What he really means, I think, is that he didn’t think Apple would notice or care if shared it with “5 or 6 fellow mac fanatics”, not that he thought it was “ok”.
