So let me get this straight Cavin,

you have pulled out your do-not-discuss-without-researching stick to beat up Tim because he mentioned that this case is about patents while you who read the suit with all the *richer* detail that it provides caught the bit that said patents *and copyright*?

Well out of curiosity I actually skimmed the law suit and the first seven (7) out of the eight counts refer to patents and the last one (1) talks about copyright infringement. So perhaps one blogger (i guess in your world of rigorous research blogs are irrelevant sources of information) might be forgiven for thinking that since 7 out of 8 issues refer to patents, then the case is overwhelmingly about patents.

I actually don't think you are rude, just pompous.. if I had a choice, give me a rude person any day.

Tim,

i think you have good intentions, but ignorance is no defense. i read the link Paul quoted. and that link highlighted the Oracle versus Google suit. But it did not contain the full details of the suit. Now if you had read the suit, you would have got a rich picture or better understanding.
your knowledge was limited to a blog post (God gracious)

Which is exactly what am talking about. People dial in to a talk show with little or no knowledge about the subject on the table. To be honest, i dont care why you highlighted "Patents and Copyrights are different beats"
and i ll restate, every man and his dog, knows the difference

and allow me to conclude:
1. The fact is that this case is about Patents and Copyright infringement.
2. If someone starts a thread, then s/he is free to provide additional sources 3. If i respond to a thread, in this case i stated (item 1), am under no obligation to provide my sources, especially if a teenager, can get this information in 5 minutes

enjoy your weekend
