Yes, were you not aware he actually was the defense lawyer for IBM in a portion of their 30+ years of anti-trust trials? I believe that is where he first made a name for himself.
Yes he lost Napster but no one on earth could have won that case. Linux will be on the Napster hot seat this time, being the ones likely holding the stolen property.
I certainly do not admire the man (and despised him during election 2K), but he simply got the Gore case because of his reputation which was largely built in the tech industry, and which he has smartly retreated back to it appears. Will be interesting to see what happens, as I don't think the possible infractions listed in the article above will have any impact on his new IBM case.
Well Kazaa, Morpheus, and the rest have all won againist RIAA, so much for not being able to win.
Boise is an absolute failure, his performance in Florida was proof of that.
Phil Beck took each of Boise "expert wittnesses" and one by one disemboweled them, it was fun to watch.
You need to get your fact straight.
They are the ones who are illegally distributing other people's copyrighted software, since they are currently in violation of the GPL, but are still distributing kernels.
They also want to sell per-seat licenses to software that cannot legally be licensed that way.
But, you knew that already, didn't you? You just had to get in your daily (or is it hourly) shot at Linux.
To say Boise is some techno wizard is a stretch. Boise doesn't use a PC and is well known for being proud of that.
I've met numerous lawyers but only a couple that I thought had any real imagination. Overall, they create more problems than they solve and they only solve problems when it appears that the money they have been paid to work on solving a problem is about to run out.
