- mcantelon 14y agoYes, when it became clear Apple was going to continue to rely on patent warfare as a business strategy, they secured patents.
- AllenKids 14y agoSo you are saying that sometimes swinging the patent stick can be right?
- mcantelon 14y agoIf someone's swinging it at you, then it's understandable as a method of self defense.
- AllenKids 14y agoBut there are many ways of inflict damages, patent lawsuit is just one of them. Why is this weapon special? If it is inherently evil, then using it under any condition should be condemned. If it is not, then again why treat it like it's special?
- mcantelon 14y ago>If it is inherently evil, then using it under any condition should be condemned. Perhaps the legal system is misguided to consider violence in self defense different from unprovoked violence?
- AllenKids 14y agoNo, but I do not consider violence inherently evil either. As a matter of fact it seems most people do not consider violence inherently evil, it is unjustifiably glorified in western culture I'd say, by western I mean American, by American I mean US.
