The Associated Press reports Microsoft and Autodesk were found guilty of
"infringing" a patent (they stole something). What was the patent for? The
article indicates Autodesk stold what we call the anti-piracy "activation"
features from a small software developer who had patented it.
Ironic huh? This would almost be funny if customers would not have to pay
the $18 million the fat farm girl from Wisconsin should be paying out of her
own pocket for being a thief.
