These claims by Elhauge, as supposedly undermining the arguments of the
opponents of Obamacare's mandate, have been pretty much debunked. The mandate
for possession of a musket for those of militia age/gender come not from the
Commerce Clause but from the Congress' powers to regulate the militia. And
there was no requirement for medical insurance among sailors, it was instead a
requirement for the inclusion of medical chests upon merchant shipping - and the
historical purpose was to support a robust merchant marine crew population as
that was the recruiting source for the Navy.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Wall Street finance whizes teaming up with razorsharp lawyers to bankroll
litigation. Wow.
The ramifications of this is mindboggling - not least because there doesn't seem
any way to stop this madness.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It still boggles my mind that a simple action can be an essential claim of a
patent. I suppose, somewhere in the patent office's database, there might be a
patent for a medical device that has "deep breathing" or "heart
beating" as an essential claim of the patent.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The money quote:
"The video patents are
essential to the H.264 codec but, as
with all its FRAND-protected patents,
Motorola wants 2.25
percent of the full sale price of any product that uses
them. Potential licensees of Motorola patents, such as
Microsoft and Apple,
have said this is excessive."
No so nice when you are on the other side of
things hey
Microsoft?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Fantastic newspick item.
The press release just about says it all. I particularly like :-
'To accept that the functionality of a computer program can be protected by
copyright would amount to making it possible to monopolise ideas, to the
detriment of technological progress and industrial development.'
Is it a coincidence that this press release is dated today (2nd May 2012) ?

This cannot be something that Microsoft wanted to hear. In fact this seems to
blow the doors off all EULAs. We are no longer compelled to be idiot users
under the rule of law. Instead, we are protected by the law.
Now, to use an analogy, like my car, I can take it apart any which way I like to
see how it works and tell others what I found. Now I can do the same with my
computer software. For far to long, illiterate and uniformed judges could not
comprehend this.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
