You are absolutely correct. This is yet another example of a company that would rather litigate its way into the market rather than innovate itself. I love the claim that their machines are better than the other brands because they have real licenses. If we are talking about a physical cabinet why not tout the claims of it being better built? Why not simply explain to each customer why buying legal roms is a good thing and let the consumer decide whether or not complying with the law is important to him.
It is entirely possible that consumers don't care about compliance with the law in this area. If they don't then ultimately the market will reflect that and (hopefully) US representatives will eventually have to reform the laws to reflect societies attitude.
News Flash! If people aren't buying your product it's not your competitors fault. Build a better product, work on your pricing, and check your marketing. It may well be possible that YOU are the problem.
But hey; why bother to innovate when you can take your business from the boardroom to the courtroom and sue your way into wealth!
So how long will it take the gov't to realise that they could just put RFID tags or similar devices in speed limit signs along with equipment in the car to just automatically issue a citation upon the immediate breech of speed limits, etc.
Traffic violations are just another source of revenue for police departments; at least in the US.
Just how far will we the people allow this type of thing to go?
