After singer Lily Allen‘s laptop was hacked into, she turned to Apple for help in identifying the attacker. When they refused, she decided to sue Apple into helping her, according to The Sun.
As The Next Web points out, the Sun’s article is brief (to say the least) and the backstory — was Allen’s initial request for help refused by Apple? — is dubious. It sounds to us like she’s motivated to find the attacker, and the lawsuit is not necessarily designed to punish Apple. It seems there are 3rd-party companies that would gladly do what Allen’s after, so we’re not sure why she’s suing Apple.
Also amusing is this profile of Allen and Future Cut that Apple itself put out not too long ago, describing how they used Logic Pro to put her album together. Thanks to The Next Web for pointing that one out.
