And when iFixit made up their rules of how this site is managed I did not see censorship in the commentary. Apple provides the means for anyone to find the info at no charge. They provide the means to re-asign passwords by the use of any OS X install disk and going down the Utility menu to Reset Password. That is GIVEN BY APPLE to each of the people who buy their computers. And that software is required to be transferred to the new owner when the computer is sold. Has anyone you know ever sold a Macintosh to a client and NOT GIVEN THEM THE REQUIRED SOFTWARE LISTED BY APPLES LICENSE? So lets say they did not get the software when they got their computer and need to reset the computer. We let them know what they need and they can go to the source of the computer and request the software that was required to be given to them when purchased and they can use their computer. Also Apple provides the manual for the iPods that lists that you need to hook up your iPod to the computer it was restored with to clear the lock code and choose Restore to clear the device should you not have your computer or it had to be reloaded since last time you uploaded your iPod. If you call Apple they will freely give you this info. (might charge you for the call) But it is all available online by Apple without restriction. All we are doing here is giving iFixit clients a place to ask questions and get answers without having to search through a ton of data that is sometimes hard to find.
As far as Federal legal opinion, all info concerning the reseting of computer passwords or iPod are listed by the manufacturer free of cost online. But I am sure an important Federal District Judge will have the same opinion if they are give all the facts. ( That legal thing about being innocent until found guilty by jury )
Do not take this that I am just being argumentative but I feel the internet is an Open Forum and feel restricting access to info because someone doesn't know if someone is a thief is wrong.
