You know its very sad that these people who work for literally peanuts, and in miserable working conditions, probably have families with mouths to feed, have a completely different life than anyone reading this forum could ever imagine, they don't have iphones and ipads, access to the internet, or even live in democratic society where they might receive a fair trial for this clear transgression.
A couple of creepy case manufactures waved some amount of money in their faces and it more than likely was not a lot, but it must have seemed like a fortune to them, for turning over the schematics of a product they probably had little idea of how ravenous a market was waiting for any and all details and demanded accessories immediately at the time of the launch of this super secret Apple product they would never be able to afford.
What they did was not right and I do not condone it, but everyone of you that bought one of these cases, probably on Ebay, that were available on the day of the launch plays a role in the scenario.
As most of us know these cases are cheaply made and have no quality control, basically cheap crap.
In my opinion want to know why the manufactures were not arrested and thrown in jail for bribing these employes. I think they probably were rich enough off the profits of their crappy cheap cases to bribe the local police.
Sometimes we have to look behind the initial headlines and think about the human elements and what led people to make the decisions they made.
I really hate reading posts from people who literally no concept of what it might be to be in another persons shoes especially in another culture and country. Your experience is nothing like their experience and making self righteous statements about what's right and wrong and what your job is like and how you keep secrets, do your job, blah blah, is just plain ignorant.
