14 DAY TRIAL // The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) apparently has no remorse ripping off others, especially Apple. The American broadcaster has a new show in place, and it’s using Apple artwork to promote it.
The eagle-eyed TNW points out to NBC Universal’s new reality series called Home Transformers which has its own little website, with a nifty piece of graphics to symbolize craftsmanship - the Apple Xcode logo which features a hammer with some building blueprints in the background.
The show is set to feature America’s best home designers, builders, decorators and craftsmen who will rebuild and transform rundown homes across the country. At the time of this writing, the Xcode logo was still featured on the hometransformers.tv site.
Apple has been contacted for confirmation on whether NBC has a license to use the graphics, though it’s highly doubtful that they do. It is also worth pointing out that NBC has been a huge supporter of SOPA - the Stop Online Piracy Act.
