Apple is threatening to sue me because of the forums
“I know next to nothing about Apple, so it really surprised me when I received an email from them this morning, threatening to sue me for a post on the forums,” says SomethingAwful.

“The thread in question was posted to help people who purchased a MacBook Pro, which apparently overheats due to Apple engineers failing to apply thermal grease properly or something else completely asinine. It also linked to the Apple Service Manual, to help people get inside their computer. Apparently, this is grounds for Apple to sue me.”
But that’s Apple. You owe it a living, not the other way around.
“NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING is even hosted on SA,” the post continues.
“All we have is a link going to somebody else’s webspace. I guess Apple has no clue how the Internet even works; they should be threatening to sue the ISP hosting the horribly illegal service manual, not some guy who runs a forum where his forum members are TRYING TO HELP people fix issues with their faulty Apple computers. I replied to Apple and told them basically to screw off because I’m not doing anything illegal. All I got back was a standard form letter, so who knows if they even bothered reading it.”
“Why does it seem like Apple’s legal team is constantly trying to alienate its loyal fanbase?” wonders SA. “Jeez, all the guy doing in that thread was trying to help people who bought faulty Apple products.”
