IBM Sues Amazon For Patent Infringement

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-did-it-first dept.

Petersko writes "It appears Amazon is about to be sued for patent infringement by IBM". From the article: "Hundreds of other companies have licensed the same patents, and IBM has tried to negotiate licensing deals with Amazon "over a dozen times since 2002," Kelly said. Amazon.com, which has bought a lot of hardware from Hewlett-Packard Co. over the years but not IBM, has allegedly refused every time."

    Try your local independent stores, jackass. Feeding multinational corporations online doesn't help anybody except for the executives in said multinational corporations, and UPS. Try spending that money locally, with people who actually pay taxes, and contribute back to your community in lots of different ways.
