Do you hear, that MS was pay 500,000,000 US$, because some small firm say "we patented idea of automatically launched applications" and applets in IE may launched automatically? Yes, now USPTO cancels this patent, but there are a lot of more stupid patents - for example, in Australia, where patents law is same, as in US, someone patended idea of wheel? Stupid-stupid-stupid... But: dura lex, sed lex. Undortunately, many conressmans in USA think, that current patents law or laws like DMCA isn't stupid - whereas US government thinks, it may break law of other countries. Remember that FBI intrude into computers in Russia, when arrest "russian hackers" Gorshkov and Ivanov. Of course, those two guys was guilty, but FBI breaks both US and Russia laws when intrude into computers without order. Unfortunately, US judge was think, that US law not applied into Russia country, but Russia laws not rules for FBI. :( ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
