    If all the money used to fight these constant, "corporate wars" with there never-ending lawsuits and industrial espionage, we could take that money and prevent any real wars from happening. I'm so tired of this pointless crap.

    begins by turning to your library of intellectual property as your source of revenue instead of products. By firing engineers and hiring lawyers, you make enemies with your founders, your partners, your customers, and everyone else. Only friends you make are your lawyers who have no loyalty, no responsibility, and who are definately *not* your friend.

    Kodak died and another SCO is born. Welcome to IP hell.

    I just wish people would stop bitching and put the companys that pull this shit off out of buisness. Dont like them? dont buy ANY of their products, they will fade away and their 'Ideas' will be free once again
