Worst of all is the bottom rung of this corrupt system are the users of software
without any recourse. I would argue that it is necessary for everyday life in
business and private. Salt? Well, maybe that is a stretch. But, just imagine
that a levy could be extracted by Oracle in the same way Edison did for the
light bulb. PTO/legal system is behind the curve and we are the muppets.

It's not that we are thinking the wrong things, it is that we
are thinking at all, and not paying royalties on our
thoughts. I see a trend developing here....

"Imagine not being able to buy salt because someone managed to
get it taken off the market for copyright infringement. "
This is already true to a certain extent. Look at the various products that are
restricted like champagne which is only champange if it is from Champange
province in France, or cheddar which is only cheddar if it is from Cheddar.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

They might have a chance if they had transcripts to review. Its unreasonable to
expect a layperson to keep the details of technical testimony (in any field)
straight from memory. Note taking isn't enough.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Actually, this is nowhere near "cutting-edge" technology. Oracle and
Google are arguing over things that were worked out in the 60s at the latest,
and just obfuscating with gobbledygook language.
The patent is clearly junk if it is translated into english. The jury is
confused because it is written in a language that resembles english, but where
none of the words are actually english.
If the patent cannot be thrown out based on prior art, it is only because it
fails to disclose the invention.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

More like banning salt on a health and safety argument. Its two
constituents are a toxic gas, and a metal that explodes on contact with
water. How could we even contemplate adding this to our food chain?![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
