Notably missing from the defendants' list are Microsoft, in which Mr. Allen remains a major investor, and Amazon.com Inc., which is based in Mr. Allen's hometown of Seattle."
 
he owns the patents, but never developed any of the stuff himself. how fucked up can capitalization gets. It's along the same lines as Pfizer or whoever patenting plants which African tribes have used medicinally for centuries and then saying they own all of that kind of plant and they aren't allowed to use them anymore.

Or that farmer in Manitoba I think who planted seeds of a crop he grew and harvested then got sued because that type of plant was under a patent.

Or a lady suing for slipping on ice on the sidewalk outside of some store, fuck you lady learn to walk properly. people slip all the time.

Or the lady who burned herself with hot coffee and sued. common sense you dickwad.

Or that guy who broke into someones home to rob him, but hurt himself during the process and sued and won.

how fucked up can this society get in these aspects
