rudedog,

When it comes to the computer industry, I don't trust the courts
either. I agreee that what seems fair and what is legal can be
(and often is) separate and unequal values.

I know a guy I used to work for who flat-out copied a patented
sort and inserted it right into his code. He figured no one
would find out & even if they did, so what??? He would cross
that bridge when he came to it. In the meantime, he had software
to sell and customers to take care of.

For software, IP protection is a complete and total joke. Because
the legal system is so inadequate, everyone in the business has
to be a cowboy to survive. Ridiculous!

cheers,
cherylw
