Sending law enforcement to confiscate their belongings seems pretty in line with "vehemently condemned". Personally I don't think his art project was entirely ethically in the clear so to speak, but this seems like nitpicky semantics considering they sent him a legal nastygram that referenced a criminal investigation that they themselves initiated.

There is also a criminal investigation related to those violations of the CFAA. Furthermore, the images and video may violate the privacy/publicity rights of the individuals pictured therein, including but not limited to Apple employees."
