I’m not a religious zealot, but I do adhere to the notion of karma. I try to live by a “what goes around comes around” ethic, and I feel terrible for enjoying the prospect of NTP getting into hot water. You might remember NTP as the patent holding company that sued RIM a couple of years ago for patent infringement. They settled and life moves on, but it dragged on forever. As an aside…hey RIM, when are the Penguins moving here? 🙂
This week, NTP is suing Palm for patent infringement – here we go again. This might wipe Palm out, should they lose. NTP, in my opinion, contributes nothing to society and the advancement of technology. As such, I was pleased to learn that a software developer is suing NTP for copyright infringement and unjust enrichment. It’s disgusting to see all of this litigation that you can only find in the good ol’ sue-happy US of A. Yet I won’t shed a tear if NTP loses this case and retreats, like the trolling shitsuckers that they are.
