    Reading this, I can’t help but think about “The future of the inter­net — and how to stop it” by Johnathan Zittrane.

    Specif­i­cally, he talks about the inter­net origi­nally being somewhat open-source, a place where things were contributed to build upon eachother. It just seems like this lawsuit is a little…well…stupid?

    Granted, the defen­dants in this case are major corpo­ra­tions. Even if they lose a lot of money, it isn’t as if they are really going to take damage. However, the people behind the innova­tion deserve credit and even monetary gain from it.

    I just don’t know where to sit on this. If I were the company, I’d settle. I’m not a person who under­stands all the intri­ca­cies of the case, so I’m proba­bly ignorant in my judgement.
