Isn't this pretty much the same thing Blackberry went through? They were sued based on a patent that specified a process or how the e-mail servers were set-up.

Yeah, exactly. You've got these companies that do nothing that buy up weird little patents for peanuts, just on the off-chance that a few of them would hit. When it does, they find IP lawyers to take the case on a contingency basis and split the winnings. Even if the case is winnable, many firms will settle because the cost of settling is usually less than fighting and winning the case. In IBM vs SCO, it's estimated that SCO have burned through way over $10m dollars in legal costs and they haven't even got to trial yet.

Also: I didn't really mean I could kick sbrugby's ass. I have no doubt he could kick my ass at poker and at fisticuffs. I was just making a comparison regarding how pathetic such people sound.

I can't get over all the Ayre balllicking in this thread. Guy's a moron.

The patent troll is laughing in his face right about now.

Didn't LINUX go through this and win?

If this is different, please explain. Short of not showing up in court, but you can't blame him for not wanting to be arrested.

More proof that Calvin Ayre is the coolest ceo on the planet: he has put an open challenge to Scott Lewis (the patent troll) for an MMA style fight. He said he'd put up $1,000,000 and the rights to the Bodog name in a blog entry at CalvinAyre.com.

Please go and digg this so it gets attention, maybe picked up elsewhere, and MAYBE we'll get to see Calvin Ayre in the ring settling this [censored] the old fashioned way [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

since he doesn't own bodog.com, not really that ballsy.
