When's this scam gonna get busted wide open and Microsoft and its company officers shut down and thrown in jail?
Because if it were anyone else it would have been done and dusted ages ago.
The whole thing stinks and clearly, they've got help.
- chollida1 15y ago> and Microsoft and its company officers shut down and thrown in jail? Thrown in jail for what? What specific laws are they breaking. If that were the case you can be sure that these companies would be fighting back.
- nestlequ1k 15y agoIt's called racketeering. 50 years ago they were busting your legs. Now the goons have gotten jobs at disfunctional technology companies, and are threatening and abusing business via the legal system.
- emehrkay 15y agoCould you imagine Bill Gates and Balmer busting up legs of Asian/European execs? I get your point, but is is racketeering if it is legal -- 'pay us or we'll sue' seems to be the norm
- Delmania 15y agoIt's hardly racketeering. In it's purest form, the patent system actually protects people from hving their ideas stolen from them, and ensuring they are properly paid for their ideas. However, your vitriol at Microsoft is rather amusing. You do realize that Apple, Kodak, and Oracle, among many others, have launched patent infringement claims against companies that could be considered competitors?
- emehrkay 15y agoYeah, I said it wasn't racketeering because it was legal
- kenjackson 15y agoThis isn't racketeering since what they're being protected from is an action that is legal and within their right to demand payment for. Your problem is with the patent system, not with MS's behavior.
