The rest of the story

Well leave it to the BBC to figure out what really happened on their own show.
You can find the full story here.

I have misrepresented what happened... but it's only because I passed on the wrong information that was fed to me by the press. Does that mean it's my fault I'm wrong?

A case of mistaken identity:

Let's say you're a normal guy and you drive a cab. Suddenly, you're approached by some guys from the BBC who ask you to come with them for an interview. They act like they know you, so being the friendly guy you are, you just go along with them and BAM - they seat you in front of a camera and leave. Click here for the result. (And be sure to watch the guys face at the beginning.)

Here's what happened:
Apple Corporation of America got sued by The Apple Corps. of the U.K. Something about a name conflict and copyright I think. It was a really big deal in Britain - and not as big a deal in the US.

After the lawsuit verdict was reached the BBC (quite naturally) wanted to interview an expert. They got a guy the thought was their man and put him in front of the camera. They grabbed a cabbie, and not the editor of the internet website they were after. Oops.

This is the BBC's take on the incedent.
