How I heard the story: When Apple announced the iphone, Nokia started negotiations with Apple and asked them to pay the same patent fee as everyone else in cell phone business. Apple did not want to pay. One year after the release of IPhone Apple still didn't agree to pay. As Nokia noticed some of Apples UI multi-touch patents were quite good, Nokia said ok, give us right to use your patents instead. Apple said no. Nokia sued Apple as they have been using Nokia patented technologies for years and haven't paid Nokia a dime. Now Apple is trying to twist story that Nokia is just after their patents. That is a lie. Nokia offered Apple same as everyone else from the start.

> 2) Apple isn't trying to get favoured rates, they're trying to get the same rates as everyone else as dictated by RAND terms. Well why doesn't Apple join RAND then first? You have to be member to get RAND prices. Why should apple get the benefits without being a member?

I installed to a company of similar size F-Secure Anti-Virus Small Business Suite. The business suite is quite cheap for a full AV-solution and includes a Central Management Tool that is available also for Linux. So basically you can control/update the windows av-clients from the Linux server if you like. I have heard no complaints from the customer yet.

Obviously millions of users agree with Slashdot. Can millions of downloaders be wrong? In the end the users are the ones doing it, NOT the torrent sites. And for your information, copyright infringement happened before torrents. Additionally in Finland (where I live) we have a private copying remuneration system, so I have already paid for my downloads: http://www.hyvitysmaksu.fi/Teosto/hymysivut.nsf/wpages/index_en.html

Would the lawyer by doing this do this be incriminating himself in front of a judge!? Still Pirate bay did nothing but showed again where files are available. The lawyer would be the one downloading and sharing the file. And the peers would be the one distributing it. Also the defense could just demonstrate the same using Google.
