Why are you carrying on this discussion here for-bloody-ever? There are |
12 |
no lawyers here or noone even halfways qualified to have this |
13 |
discussion, and you are certainly not one either. |

I do not see why you are so hell bent on complaining on behalf of |
15 |
Microsoft and Apple. If they have a problem they should have resource |
16 |
enough to object for themselves. Furthermore I highly doubt there is |
17 |
reason to fear a sudden $1 billion lawsuit from Microsoft for copyright |
18 |
infringement. Even MS knows that all they need to do to rectify alleged |
19 |
wrongdoings is to send a simple email to Daniel Robbins and matters will |
20 |
be handled promptly. It is not black magic or chinese math to anyone |
21 |
(except maybe people who like to argue for the sake of arguing). |
