Is simply knowing we were right in retrospect a hollow victory?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, September 27 2012 @ 08:02 PM EDT
Well, as far as scoops go, that's not why I read Groklaw.
Personally, it doesn't matter if you published it first or
last. The most important thing is, that you put it in one
place for me to find.

If it's a major trial involving Linux or Open Source, I know
that I can come to Groklaw for all of the information that I
need. I realize that I can Google (or whatever search
engine) the information and go to various sites to read it.
But it's also nice knowing that I can get it in one place
(even if it's after everyone else has published it).

I know I pretty much repeated myself over and over, but I
wanted to make sure the point was made.

Have a great day, and keep up the awesome work. :)
Patrick.

As a long-time reader here, when I read your "Nuff said" I had a
pretty clear idea what you weren't saying, and why -- I've seen how you treated
redacted material in the past, and my first thought was that you didn't want to
write things which you wouldn't be able to "unwrite" if the filing was
updated with more redactions.

But I don't think it matters now, where Reuters got their info from... It
didn't get redacted-after-the-fact, and now Apple has helpfully let the cat even
further out of the bag. Now we have to wait and see how things unfold.

In a different vein..
I feel bad for Judge Koh, because this huge expensive time-consuming trial is
now tainted. Its easy to say she should have done this different or that
different, but its easy to be armchair-quarterbacks and the reality seems to be
that she tried to be fair, she tried to keep the lawyers from running amok, she
tried to limit the trial to something that could be tried in a reasonable amount
of time. Samsung may feel that some decisions were a little biased in Apple's
favor. But in the end, it was the jury that seems to have actually run amok.
We now have a big mess, and Judge Koh is the one who somehow has to clean it up.

Good editorial selection of interesting, accurate material is a very important part of Groklaw..

And I don't care if Groklaw isn't first. I'll live through that in return for
PJ and MW and others here having selected what's important and what's accurate.
