Comments on: Fake Steve Jobs lashes out against 'invasions of privacy'

It's all fun and games until someone starts calling lawyers. And unless it's his greatest gag yet, Fake Steve Jobs is no longer amused.

Fake Steve Jobs?

I don't see what the big deal on this guy is. Far as I'm concerned, this guy is just a blogger with an amusing sense of humor. Big deal, the Web is full of good-humored bloggers. Perhaps I should start a blog myself and call myself Fake Bill Gates, or fake Linus Torvalds. Maybe then I would get famous too.

If you kept your identity hidden YOU won't be famous at all!
What privacy?

Since when did the internet become private? I was under the impression that it's an open communication platform, and I'm also under the impression that IP address location data is no secret at all to the administrators of the sites visited by visitors. This reaction is genius though, as the real SJ comes across as a paranoid freak who always throws every legal threat he can at anyone trying to "scoop" him or his company and its offerings! Bravo, FSJ!!! Ya know, if you keep this up long enough and stay deep enough into character, you could probably actually land a couple of CEO gigs at multi-billion $ companies who don't have the luxury of the Real SJ - you're definitely the next best thing!

Does an alter-ego/fictitious character have a right to privacy?

When he's real, the privacy will be real.
