    Is it still perfectly good and innocent now that they're actively _decrypting_ your SSL traffic?

    How can they do compression without decrypting? And MITM cannot be done without decrypting. You have decrypt before re-encrypt.

    This is why I tend to go ballistic when someone argues that we should stick with the larger vendor because they provide product stability.

    Do people argue this with you for paid products or free products like Messenger?

    That's not his logic. That's the legal system's logic.

    No it's not. You don't apply the trademark unless want to prevent others from using. You can't apply for it and then say that the only reason you are suing now is so that you can sue later.

    Why would you apply for the trademark other than wanting to prevent others from using it by suing them?

    It is the micropayment support system that everyone used to wish for back in the days of multi-hundred dollar monopoly software prices, and yet somehow, to some people, it is still too much to pay.

    So what kind of applications were available for multi-hundred dollars before the iOS/Android store models but are now available really cheap at the iOS/Android stores?
