Notice how I was talking about the entire IP system and why it is flawed? And how "companies" was pluralized? It is flawed for everyone. I also admitted I would do the same when in charge of any company, otherwise I wouldn't be operating in my shareholder's best interests (and my wallet). The talk of Apple is only there because that is the topic of this thread. Back in the day, I was frustrated with the various patent sitters that held decade old patents on broad engineering concepts (without proof of concept or product in the marketplace) who were suing RIM continuously.
