Completely agreed-- but I hope you're not using that logic as a passive-aggressive rationale in support of product leaks.

Say.. by its own level-headed (not radically faithful fanboyish) customers? Like the ones that actually offer up convincing reasons for brand loyalty?
Really... how many leakers do you think meet that criteria? How many viewers of leaked materials? Having been heavily engaged in this issue for many years, I can assure you that the "level-headed" members of any such set are in a very small minority... especially when stuff hits something as expansive and egalitarian as the Web.
