So what is the difference between extortion and license fee?
Only legal difference? Not much then. I guess it is matter only number of people that get profits out of it. Some will of course argue that ceremony details is much different. Well yes, legal system is high ceremony (and costs) comparing to illegal acts of extortion.
Now if it was real defense of complex innovation one could understand. But apparently some people (e.g. lawyers) have different interpretation of word "innovation". Too bad that common sense does not work for them. - Posted by: FirstNLastN Posted on: 11/20/03 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
