For MS: it's just Friday
``The small company sued Microsoft in mid-2002, charging that the software giant had taken its patented technology for speedy online delivery of video without permission. Burst said Microsoft had gained access to its technology when the two companies were negotiating a business deal, which fell through.''

Snatch other people's IP; exploit it; get sued; pay up some money outside the court to shut them up; case closed. i.e., at Redmond it's a usual Friday.
