If those wankers win there will be a huge amount of lawsuits launched over vaguely patented ideas. The consumer would be the ones who would lose the most.

If they go after Apple they've got to go after Dell, Creative, and the rest of them for having "music jukebox" ideas...

Stupid fucker, way to try to turn a serious thread into a cunt fest. I really hope someone takes note of your lack of intelligence and decides to end our misery and ban you. Again.

I take it you didn't read my sig.
Even if you did... you'd better get back to the lamer herd, you infamous fucked-up assclown. You just got owned.

I'm well aware of that. Patent law, epsecially in the US, is a joke and needs to be revised.
