espionage != stealing
the existence of a patent that another company copied is by definition stealing.
until further litigation occurs and changes this decision, it is a fact Apple stole this technology
why they can't ever show a little humility and pay up in royalties is just ridiculous. remember, they didn't even want to pay artists for the music they gave away when launching Apple Music until a Very Big Deal named Taylor Swift told them to GTFO.

- prepend 3y agoFirst, IP infringement is not stealing. It’s different and equating them cheapens theft. We should speak accurately. Second, many patents are stupid. One click checkout was stupid and companies that implemented one click purchasing weren’t infringing anything. And certainly weren’t stealing. Was this patent stupid? I don’t know, maybe. But assuming stealing is not a very good idea as I expect there are many more BS patents than valid.
