On my way in to work this morning, I listened to Keith Green's
"Lies".
Posted under Off Topic, since this has no relation to the Oracle case...

This
is an article about the Megaupload case, but it is pretty well written, and IMO
extends far beyond just the question of Megaupload. The big issue here, IMO, is
the question of how much the US and it's "businesses with big lobbies are always
legally right" agenda can be effectively propagated as if US law was world law.
I think that it the case is very much worth watching.

I read that of the two patents that actually went to trial,
one was preliminary ruled invalid by USPTO. Was the final
decision made on that?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I was reminded of this guy

Pretty ironic that David Boies also had the biggest win of his career today, historically speaking, in that a
federal appeals court (1st Circut) ruled DOMA is (in part) unconstitutional
interference with the states' rights to define marriage and is impermissibly
discriminatory by denying same-sex couples federal benefits (taxes, retirement
income, etc.).

This AP story,
"Google Files Patent Claim Against Microsoft and
Nokia",
has important details previously unknown to
me...
Some of the patents cover parts of open-
source
software known as the Linux Kernel, a form of freely
available computer coding
that Google used in building its
Android operating system. Google alleges
MOSAID is reneging
on a commitment that Nokia made in a 2005 regulatory filing
when the company pledged not to enforce patents against
software relying on
the Linux Kernel.
There is one error in the article. While
it is true that
Mosaid is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Mosaid is no longer a
Canadian company. It is now wholly owned by "Sterling
Partners", an American
company. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
