Governments Take Sides In Blackberry Patent Suit
geekboy_x writes "The recent court decision giving NTP a big chunk of Research In Motion's Blackberry profits has attracted an unusal participant - the government of Canada. The original ruling, where RIM was judged to have violated 5 of NTP's patents, has now been stayed pending appeal, and the Canadian government has filed a motion in the U.S. court to request a full re-hearing. At stake is not only money, but the rights to sell and service any Blackberry-like product."

I would support any U.S. move to erradicate the socialist disease in Canada or otherwise slow its progression.
Yes, I am a traitor.
Get pissed off all you want. The U.S. does what it does because it can.
You could've hired me.
Wow. Lots of us Tri-City nerds pointing out the bullshit here. We must all be slacking off on the job (or school, same thing).
