  1. terrible police on Michigan Man Charged for Using Free WiFi · · Score: 0

    "Each day around lunch time, Sam Peterson would drive to the Union Street Cafe, park his car and--without actually entering the coffee shop--check his e-mail and surf the Net. His ritual raised the suspicions of Police Chief Andrew Milanowski, who approached him and asked what he was doing." Does Milanowski follow every citizen in the city? How does that justify tax dollars?

    What SCO contends, Your Honor, let's talk about those. Your Honor, in effect what they have claimed is that the pitcher, player pitcher is 1, player catcher is 2, player first base is 3 and so on. That's what those #defines represent, associating a number and a shorthand for a position and claiming that somehow it renders Linux so substantially similar to UNIX that they enact and claim rights. And I respectfully submit, Your Honor, that the law is clear that short names of that sort and associating integers randomly with phrases like PP1 or EPERM-1 simply is not protectable under the doctrines laid out in our papers by Professors Kernagen and Davis in their expert reports. And in no case can it result when it's 320 lines of non-contiguous essentially random numbers with essentially shorthand phrases represents substantial similarity. Now, Your Honor with respect to misuse, briefly again, the facts here are simple. They claimed rights to more than a million lines of code in Linux. At the end of the day, there's 326 lines of code in which they have rights, and they have sought to exert the supposed monopoly they have and copyrights they claim to have over technology plainly owned by others. For the five reasons I set out, Your Honor, summary judgment respectfully should be entered in favor of IBM. Thank you. WOW!
