I’m the anonymous that wrote the comment you originally replied to.
If
the truth matters, then everything Apple included in their notice
was actually
true. They gave the notice, they gave direct quotes from the court
itself, and
they also included information about court rulings in various other
jurisdictions. If you care about the truth, then certainly you would mind if
various parts of it were omitted, wouldn’t you? It isn’t the court
order
I take issue with, once again, I am not so invested in foreign courts nor a
local
corporation to care about that. I take issue with the author’s statement
about
lacking humanity for disagreeing with her. Now I take issue with
your
statements about what our civilization was actually built on. Our
civilization
was built on lies, deceit, assassinations, murder, wars, plagues,
advancements
in technology (not just digital tech), advancements in science,
literature,
languages, Xanatos gambits to break apart lands and build empires,
culture,
disagreements, oppression, freedom, and various other things that make
us
human. That includes comedy. Truth is but one side of one part of humanity,
the other side is lies, a third side might be propaganda, and so on, that’s the
truth, and I understand that for many people, this truth hurts. I
found
the court order itself comedic, and I found Apple’s respond even funnier, this
is a fight involving several institutions, at least two corporations (the
parties
named) and the UK Court, not including the worldwide court and
commission
battles. I also found the UK Court actually striking the order down
to be pretty
interesting, reading that today reminded me to check to see if
anyone had
replied here. UK law might be very different from US law (not wholly
given
most
States include English common law as part of their legal systems),
but after
the
laughter dies down and I think about it, I find the entire idea
that a court
would
order any party to take out what amounts to an ad for their
competitors to be
a
pretty bad idea. I thoroughly enjoyed Groklaw’s
coverage of various
other cases, not a fan of having my humanity questioned for
disagreeing with
someone though. It’s the same type of baseless emotional
response
seemingly
inbred into most people that has polarized my country and
will tear it apart,
and when I saw it, I felt it necessary to address it. I
won’t apologize if anyone
has taken offense to this or my previous
statement. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
