Inside High End Equipment

[PeterSt]

I think it is seriously inappropriate to share pictures made by such a repair shop. Of course this starts with the repair shop doing this itself.

This is not really about pictures which can be taken from the top with the lid off, but about parts which are normally not accessible to you and me. Say the under side of a PCB, unveiling secrets, after a day of work to tear it apart for repair.

 

This is just my opinion as a manufacturer. What you do is up to you.

So do you think the teardown pictures of Apple products published by iFixit are inappropriate?

 

So if I call in a contractor to work on my software (bug finding), do you think it is OK if he publishes the source code ?

Let's say that I was overreacting. 

Now please continue with the topic.

Anyway, crazy things do happen on the net.

 

This doesn't need t be on the net per se. A colleague of mine makes photos (for a hobby). He shoots a nice event and sends the pictures of it to the local news paper (say the newspaper which only distributes in your local 20,000 people relative small city). He also puts the photo shoot on his private web site.

What happens next is that he has to take down the photos from his website or else he is sued. Remember, his own photos.

 

This is perfectly normal law over here. But crazy nevertheless.
