I think it's pretty disturbing how regularly Apple's ideas get ripped off. It doesn't do anyone any good, because it makes the whole idea of patenting utterly trivial. It's pretty sad that so many of Apple's ideas have been shamelessly ripped of by companies like Microsoft and others. The more this happens the worse it gets for people who actually come up with creative ideas and want to start companies. Thus ripping patents off not only harms Apple but the entire economy itself, by centralizing market control by major corporations that cannot be competed with unless the government does it's job. The worse a job the government does in this way the more it will hurt entrepreneurs and free market capatilism itself. Turning the government into a Corporatocracy and fascist oppressive regime that exhausts the people. So while people like Michel Moore are happy to see capitalism be destroyed and are probably pro ripping Apple's and other companies or creative people with patents off by bulldog bullying tactics. I for one see it as a total failure, and a track record of how much Apple has spent and has so little to show for it, when everyone knows Apple created the iPhone and iOs before anyone else, makes it clear that corruption in the justice system is all-pervasive. And it's amazing the hipocracy of the government to then try to go behind everyone's back and pass SOPA and PIPA in a "attempt to thwart internet piracy" when it's not even upholding the patents it's supposed to as it is.
