That case would have been for the public good: a flawed and defective product was release into the public market place, screwing anyone that bought the thing.
This case revolved around information on an *unreleased* product; did you get that? *UNRELEASED* NO ONE IN THE PUBLIC WAS AFFECTED.
What you state is to be compared more closely with a car with a known, reproducable defect, that the company wants to keep under wraps, ie. not serving the public good.
Gee, I wonder why this won't apply to paper classifieds, phone books, and other physical media... could it be because False^H^H^H^H^HTrue.com doesn't use physical media? Hmmmmmm...
Let me write a really, really *nice* revue of Tramp^H^H^Hue.com on Amazon/Alexa....
Your bid is now $80, but you still win because you were there first.
Yes, thank you for proving the parent's point. YOU were the high bidder; suppose noone else bids AGAINST YOU (NOT YOU), why then should the amount of the actual bid increase when you bump your maximum?
And your point about putting in a larger amount to begin with is totally irrelevant.
Is there a fund set up yet where we can donate to their legal defense?
It's not needed, as this has clearly no merit.
You can't go around and trademark something after it's been in wide use. The only way this could stand up is if "MAME" as registered would be for something other than emulation.
And even *if* this could pass as legitimate, there'd already be too long a delay from first open use to litigation for it not to be considered as abandoned by the so-called trademark owner.
So again, no merit
Moron, BSD Can't die, if they do Apple dies. What do you think OS-X is?
You're the moron, Troll. You write this like BSD is some kind of living thing whose code will suddenly vanish out of evey other program that ever used any of its code if noone ever writes another line of code in BSD
Did Shakespear's works suddenly vanish when he died? Did Michealangelo's inventions and arts just go up in a puff of smoke when he died?
So before acting like the fscking idiot you are and calling people names, perhaps you should start by getting a fscking clue before posting the proof that you're an idiot in the future.
Regardless of what recently happened, this wasn't planned in the last few days. Obviously it's been coming for some time, and it's obvious either they (government) bullshitted people into believing this was good, or the people just don't know enough to care about it.
" but will DDoS attacks against spam websites help to curb the problem of spam?"
Why not? It helped them (spammers) curb certain blacklists they didn't like.
" So your statement not only isn't true of all software patents, it's not even true of all bad software patents."
Yeah, riiiight, ok, so how about an example of a *recent* software patent that *doesn't* include everything but the kitchen sink in its description, instead of an ancient, no-longer-valid patent as a poor example for a poor argument?.............
Thought so.

WTF APPLE? Did I ask you to put extra shit in my bookmark bar???? NO!!! Apple, the next Netscape?
This is why the nickname I use for metallica now is 'the hypocrites'.
"that your posts weren't totally devoid of civil purpose"
They weren't devoid of anything; they just fell on deaf ears.
Score: -20, clueless troll beating a dead horse
Boy, I bet you have such a warm, fuzzy feeling inside of being such an accomplished troll.
Duh! youself troll. I agree with the original poster's assessment that these are fuckups more than anything else.

There's a HUGE difference; get a clue.

They didn't base their business on stealing and publishing trade secrets *DUH!*

That's irrelevant; as someone here once said, $1 is still a $1 here, no matter what it's worth anywhere else.
Not so lame when you see an ATM (or a billboard) with one!

Kinda like how OSX is based on old, reliable, unix technology?
tech-recipes.com - what is this site about???? I hate sites that don't provide a description of what it's about!
Didn't think such a badly programmed site could actually bring them that amount of money.
