I would have kept the site up. No one's suing anyone based on that. Just because something is in a privacy policy doesn't mean you're going to get sued on it. If you clearly state it is content from Apple's site and your screen scraping is set up in such a way that it's not denying resources for other viewers (meaning it only requests a page every 30 secs or perhaps you sporadically request pages between 0 and 60 secs), and it's not accessing a part of the site that would cause damage to the company (ie you found some back door) you're fine. Just stop and picture yourself in front of the judge. You on one side with your public defender, Apple on the other side with 8 lawyers. Picture the judge reading the charge of you just being a fan trying to show respect for a man you and millions of others idolized and in doing so you came up with a site which although it copied some content from apple's site (giving full credit to Apple), but you're such a fan that you went out of your way to make sure your actions didn't overload servers which are designed to handle millions of hits a day. You'd walk away a hero and the PR and legal team of Apple would look like douches.
With regards to the event, no one is going to get fired for posting some snapshots from outside the building. Yes if you're inside the building they can have rules about photography due to the nature of the business. Their rules all come down to protecting their investment. If someone takes a snapshot of an iphone 6 Apple can easily prove damages because those pics will make their way to their competitors. All these lawsuits and threats of lawsuits come down to damages. Good luck trying to substantiate damages of an event with 50k people unless in the pic there's a whiteboard in the background with proprietary info on it.
I'm amazed at how uptight some people are on this forum. I think there's 3 types of people on this site. Fans, Fanboys, and obsessive crazed lunatics (is that redundant)? One of the types, likely the type that's so uptight in this thread, need to climb out of their Apple shrine in their proverbial basement, get some fresh air, make love to a woman (or a man), and live a little. Create your own legacy... stop trying to live and/or defend Steve's.

Worst, Occupy protestors hating successful people and making them feel guilty out of their wealth on their "Class War."
Tea Party Liberates Wall Street!

my guess is if they did record it they they will:
1. release it within the next few days
2. one year anniversary of his passing
it would be good to listen to the speeches.

Apple Meadowhall (and I assume the rest) were shut yesterday evening during the memorial, and I'm pretty sure they weren't listening to a radio.
Another sweeping melodramatic statement which is so far removed from the truth.
Maybe there are 3 types who post on here.
1.Trolls (Enough said)
2. Fans of the Mac both software and hardware; People who have supported this combination of hardware and software over the years since it was formed, who have supported the creators, enjoyed there vision, understood there mistakes and settled in for the ride.
3. The iPhone/iPad users; those who think now they have bought into this little bit of Mac paradise, that they have a say, always worried about the next model, the next os, and when it does arrive, complaining how it doesn't do this or that.
I am of the 2nd group, a Mac User since the early 90's. I too would have loved to been at the memorial, or even watched it. I hold the memories of the man dear, just like I do other great visionaries. As the video says, they inspire, they believe and the achieve.
I was reading your post agreeing with it and thinking you sounded quite reasonable. Then I read point 3, and thought you utter utter ****. What a patronising arrogant person you are.
Yeah, cause Jobs death isnt allready broadcasted allover the world like has it been god himself who died.
But why would anyone videotape an event that its honoree would have wanted kept private?
Honor Mr. Job's memory by keeping our intrusion into his funeral/memorial service(s) to a minimum. The man led an extremely private life, so enough of the reality TV mentality in which the minutia of a person's life is held up for public consumption.
RIP, Steve. Glad to know that your loved ones have managed to give you the dignified exit you would have wanted.
Thanks for that - the team came out cheering their customers into the store and looked super pumped - my interpretation was they had shared some time and then wanted to celebrate success.
BTW the team were videoing the whole event and proud of what they were and who they wired for.
I really wish both sides of the argument in this thread would just be quiet - some people feel an affinity for Apple and through that for Steve Jobs - it doesn't matter when you started liking apple - some people aren't old enough to have been born when Apple was founded - can they not like the company and like being part of what it is to be an apple fan?
RIP Steve Jobs - the world is a lesser place now.
...and 4. The superior contributors who still can't differentiate between "they're", "there", and "their"
On thing I liked about that ceremony: they played Jobs' own rendition of the voiceover from the famous Think Different ad.
And the words from that ad essentially describes his life mission almost perfectly.

yes... yes... I love this idea. It would honor Mr. Jobs and Apple in so many ways. Fist and foremost, it would portray Mr. Jobs legendary management style toward his employees - and please note that I'm not saying I don’t admire his vision, creativity, etc... Secondly, it also portrays Apple's corporate litigious ego when dealing with so many situations.
But why stop there? I say fire those tweeting bastards; plus, sue and incarcerate any employee sharing audio or video of the occasion.
But not only that: any customer (actual or potential) that simply wished to intrude in such private matter, should have all his/her Apple gadgets taken away and/or be banned from any Apple store, Apple website or Apple reseller, condemning them to use Windows, Android and other sub-par gadgets. Anyone that repeats the offense, will be further downgraded to using Linux, Windows Mobile and cassette tapes instead of CDs.
And for anyone - Apple customer or not - in possession of graphic, audio or video material, will be sued and incarcerated too, but not before having the Windows Vista, Symbian and Zune logos tatooed on their forheads, for they shall live their rest of their lives in absolute shame.
Now, that's the spirit!
(just kidding)
cheers!
Went to the apple store here in BR La yesterday to get an adapter and found it closed and curtained. Took the opportunity to sit on a bench a ways away and spend a few minutes thinking about SJ and the ways his accomplishments impacted my life.
A nice half hour out of my day.

Nice tribute indeed. I know Steve would've loved it, and would love more to see people remember him by living and doing some of the things he did in his life . . . . i.e. donate to a charity, help others, remember the other people still fighting the good fight and so forth.
There would have to be a fourth group (or a fifth). The ones that are general technology users that have signed on to be Apple fans based on the usefulness of the company's technology, but hasn't sworn off of the rest of the tech world, and still sees value (at times more value than Apple) in their products.
We are a small group, and we are the underdogs, usually flamed and down-ranked consistently, but we are here and fortunately we always make the most sense.
