Are you saying juries are biased and don't uphold the law? I think better of them. Charles, I don't suppose you caught any of the OJ Simpson trial? Teflon

Are you saying juries are biased and don't uphold the law? I think better of them. Could it be that judges are biased? A judge that tried to bring in Lessig, only to be overturned. Then he brought him in again. Was it to prove a point? A judge that arbritarily sets a 12 witness limit in such an important case. A judge that is not too thrilled about appeals courts overturning his every ruling. Appeals court judges not thrilled about having their decisions ignored by a trial judge. Judges can have bias but theirs is termed intrepration of the law. My feeling is that judges at both levels are biased in the way they intrepret law. I am of the opinion that judges are human as are juries. I don't blame them for that. I doubt any private lawsuit will be very successful (maybe except to pay for legal costs) in their claims. It will be too hard to get human being to reach a consensus against MSFT, IMHO. I think Microsoft sees it the same way; otherwise they would have settled. I think they considered all the costs and benefits. JMHO.
