I am pretty sure you can't get an injunction on something unless you can prove that you can fill the public need that said infringing company is fulfilling... and a judge would definitely not issue an injunction that hurts the general public (See: Vonage)

Sounds like a bunch of empty threats. They are just trying to get them to talk. Chances are they will all write checks to these guys to avoid a IP lawsuit (which can easily cost a defendant millions, whether they win or lose)]]>May 11th 2007 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 11th 2007 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 11th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 11th 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 11th 2007 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 11th 2007 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/

there needs to be a way to prevent frivolous lawsuits like this. sue the sue-happy lawyers out of existence. otherwise the legal system will become more and more of a self-serving entity, draining resources from all of us yet providing no benefits. the legal system is on the verge of turning into a money-making machine for lawyers without any benefit to society. yet society ends up footing the bills.

on a technical note, monopolies are not illegal - rather, the law places certain restrictions on how they conduct their business. ]]>May 12th 2007 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 12th 2007 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 16th 2007 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/apple-and-friends-hit-with-candd-for-actively-avoiding-use-of-dr/May 16th 2007 8:17PM
