San Francisco - Apple (NASD: AAPL) has been sued by digital civil liberties group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) over its stifling of discussion about methods of putting non-Apple software on iPhones and iPods on the Internet. Apple sent OdioWorks, the operator of a website called BluWiki where users were discussing such methods, a letter demanding the discussions be removed. The company argues that the discussions violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), under which it is a crime to circumvent copy-protection security measures.
