Everyone can breath now

No, we are not in danger, no, we still have an atmosphere, and yes there is life left within us. If this is so, then why is everyone making such a big deal about blackberry and their patent case. They stole technology, they should be shut down, regardless of how many subscribers they have or how much revenue the company is making, or how many will become unemployed. This is something they should have thought off before they decided to infringe in other people's ideas and technologies.

While RIM was growing a poor company was been left behind. The company that came up with the technology to provide so many access to email anywhere they go. Am I the only one that see this as a problem?

The bottom line is that patents, copyrights, and trademarks exist for a reason, to prevent other from becoming wealthy at the expense of others. Maybe RIM had the capital to promote themselves and build a successful brand, but is time to cough up some cash to the real brain behind the powerful gadget. There are more important things in life than worrying if you are going to have to switch providers for your mobile service. There are countless other services that offer what blackberry have, some do it better. Stop supporting these people and let the law run its course, if what they did is legit then they and you have nothing to worry about.
