> he leaked marketing images for Apple Watch Series 4 I don’t think this specific one has anything to do with the NDA.
I don't think that really changes anything. That article clearly indicates he sourced some information from the developer program betas, which would be a violation of the NDA when publicized.

#42Because it's not mentioned in the article but could be hint on why this happened (could also be entirely irrelevant). It's the guy who brought us a bunch of early iOS 13 leaks among other things: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/164/interview-guil...
> And he’s successful: he leaked marketing images for Apple Watch Series 4, he found iPhone X glyphs showing the notch, and more. Presumably in violation of the developer program's NDA.
Even if that seems likely doing all that without a "real" full locking of the account and an email seems kind of odd.

If that's the reason shouldn't Apple have warned/informed him by now?

Then Apple can respond in an above-board way to such a violation. If the want to conduct their response through secret channels, in a harassing way, they shouldn't look to the courts to support their NDA rights on this. The same way that you can't stop paying rent to your landlord because he hasn't fixed your sink, Apple can't harass someone because they believe he is in violation of a contract.
