It becomes a speed trap in a one highway town. It isn't an issue of a responsibility to break it, but the lack of an alternate route to avoid it. We have a major problem. Our court systems aren't technically sharp enough to process these claims. A new breed of CS lawyer is emerging as a result. We have to watch this while the precedents are established, but don't neglect keeping the press both digital and print fully informed.

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Gregg Reynolds [mailto:greynolds@g...] But is BT's claim any more ridiculous than many other patently absurd claims of a similar nature? E.g. Microsoft's stylesheet patent, Amazon's one-click, etc. etc. In the face of such blatant legal stupidity (or is "chicanery" more accurate?), does it not become the honest citizen's responsibility to break the law? *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
