Comment

Although I'm not an Apple fan, this seems a bit harsh.

Some people who were possibley at a trade show 10 years ago, walked passed a stall, one of hundreds, saw a product and stored the idea in their memory.

They then join Apple as some point since the trade show and produce iTunes.

Hmm, if i was the judge i'd give them not just 3 times the 'normal' amount, but 10 times the 'normal' amount. They deserve it for coming up with a stupid idea like that.

Mind you it does show again the problems with software patents.
