It's interesting that they phrased it like that. If they were confident about this, they would easily be able to prove this in court and it would be a very simple case of copyright infringement right?
- TheRealDunkirk 6y agoIf IBM v. SCO taught us anything, it should have taught us that "easily... prove" and "in court" do not belong in the same sentence. The case SHOULD have been thrown out in 5 minutes due to lack of merit, which ANY programmer could see. Instead, it took FOURTEEN YEARS to decide, and is STILL working through appeals. Microsoft funded the litigation, and the scumbag executives of SCO continued to get paid through most of this charade. It all still makes my blood boil.
- paxys 6y agoYeah I'm not sure how much weight this holds, especially considering one paragraph later they transition into accusing Amazon of being "inspired" by their commercial features.
- FireBeyond 6y agoThey have a lawsuit open against the third party. I would presume that "inspired" is covering themselves from libel until they have a judgment that this happened (assuming it appears).
- mintplant 6y agoThey're currently suing the third party mentioned.
