Ok, you see when a company is in the red, what they do is they look at all the companies that have some reaction to them and they see what products they have and blindly try to find something to sue them for and cross their fingers hoping that they find a four leaf clover and they roll their lucky dice hoping against hope that they will get a lot of money.
This is not fiction! This is reality! They abuse the law in their favor, because our American legal system lets them do it. No common sense is involved. Just a giant book of laws.
Laws shmaws! Common sense overrides any law that is in place. With that said let's talk about the possibility or should I say impossibility of the banning of the XBox 360 in the U.S.
So, Motorola is losing money, so they spot a victim known as Microsoft and they go after their system XBox 360 specifically. Now what's the basis for the sue. They (Microsoft) is using video codecs that Motorola owns patents to. Ok, but they clearly put these codecs out for everyone to use as fair use. Millions of people use them everyday. Companies use them everyday with no repercussions. And why don't they go after them? Because it's free to use and many of them don't have as much money as the big MS.
So now a judge that has the knowledge of the book of U.S. laws says, "Ok, lets throw away common sense. Let's just forget for a second that there's an implied 'fair use' in these codecs. And then we can have this violence box banned from the U.S. That way we won't have hooligans in the streets ripping each others spines out on the street."
Ok, so this is what the judge recommends. Ban the Xbox 360. Don't just ask MS to pay some money to a greedy company, but ban a product outright. A system that has been out for years and APPARENTLY flew under Motorola's blind ass radar several years ago. That's another big deal. Why the hell would a company wait years knowing something and then suddenly sue. $$$$$$$$ That's why! Corporate outright greed! And the law is blind to this outrage! It's completely blind to the fact that most companies that sue other companies do it for no other reason than, because they want someone else's hard earned cash. Why is it soooooo hard for our stupid ass government to see and do something about these stupid situations?
WHATEVER! You know what? The he** with it! Why don't we all become legal thieves! Everyone's doing it!
