       Is Apple Stealing Tech from Smaller Companies?Smaller rivals say meeting with Apple ended with the tech giant releasing products that resemble their own. Some say Apple used the U.S. patent system to avoid having to pay for using their technology. Apple says it doesn’t steal technology and plays by the rules#Apple #Stealing #WSJhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayvGwi7E_9E

       @stux There was an open source MP3 project about 20 years ago.The second the really little one with a native colour screen went to a prototype the whole shebang was shut down.Give you 3 guesses who!I hate them so bloody much.

       @stux Not stealing and playing by the rules are two different things. In the US we have legalized stealing, and every for-profit company is guilty on some level.

       @stux >"Apple says it doesn’t steal technology and plays by the rules"Big tech and large corporations write the rules; they literally write the language that goes into the bills that politicians put into the laws that get passed.Corporations also funnel money to the judges who decide IP cases, and guess what? The biggest corporations with the most money usually win those cases.

       @stux Greed has had to get smarter and Apple can afford the smartest law-dodgers.Bit galling seeing the company that tried to sue another for producing rectangular mobile phones playing fast and loose with other people’s hard work isn’t it?Such a pity Apple, a company whose products even an anti-capitalist like myself enjoys, feel the need to be so unethical.
