Tuvalu (.tv) sold the rights to their domain to verisign. It was not hijacked from them, it was their right and their decision to sell it. They received over $20 million dollars, which is roughly twice their annual gross domestic product.
I'm sure the Indians would like to give back the blankets, if they could get Manhattan back... If there was a profit sharing on the.tv domain, and rights to use it, then it wouldn't be to bad (I have no idea what the deal looks like). Taking advantage of the niaive isn't right (just the imperialist way)...
Why should we all like the idea of having to stick something into the ignition? That's almost as bad as finding a way to see if the thing has breasts...
A Toyota Prius doesn't even need a key, just the RFID keyfob...

Yeah and we must be guilty of dumping goods and services in the market at below cost to take marketshare.
Ah -- the American way. Do anything to beat the competition, but not too much, or they'll sue you (the other American way)...
After reading the "argument", I wouldn't worry (except the case is in an American court). The same logic could be applied to a suit against M$?
