The second paragraph is a direct quote from wikipedia. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_O%27Reilly&oldid=453563125 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_O%27Reilly&...
The quote in question:
>Tim has been active in this space and in 2001, O’Reilly was involved in a dispute with Amazon.com, leading a protest against Amazon’s one-click patent and, specifically, Amazon’s assertion of that patent against rival barnesandnoble.com. The protest ended with O’Reilly and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos visiting Washington D.C. to lobby for patent reform.
- sumukh1 15y agoKind of ironic. And it's not like copyright trolls are limited to Silicon Valley. It's coming from content "creators" like the blog linked. If the quote that was stolen was originally from the AP the blog would have to pay $40. (See: http://mashable.com/2009/08/02/associated-press/ http://mashable.com/2009/08/02/associated-press/)
- chc 15y agoCopyright trolls are almost wholly absent from Silicon Valley. They tend to be in Hollywood. Patents and copyrights are totally different things.
