Bedrock Computer Technologies, LLC v. Softlayer Technologies, Inc. et al
(Source Article)
Please someone intervene here! Old lawyers in long robes, requiring corporations that use Open Source software to prove themselves innocent of infringing on patents that should have never been allowed to be issued. As we’ve mentioned before, software programs are built on top of prior inventions that are built on prior inventions. Carving out one’s piece of the pie by convincing a government official to issue a patent is corrupt and dangerous to everyone. This is despicable! What’s worse, is that the big corporations are playing the same games. The fact remains, there is no ethical way a person can “invent” a tiny thing that uses hundreds of other “inventions” and then charge people to use it without paying every other inventor in the line. In short, patents + IT = train wreck.
I sure hope Google doesn’t end up paying these patent poachers. At the same time, maybe Google will stop playing their claim games also. It still bugs me that they scrape every website on the internet and earn their money off of our content. Even redisplaying it in their own format. Then they establish rules about our sites that they don’t even apply to their own! Virtual morals suck.
This has become very common in IT field.Every new invention will definitely use pre invented products or softwares.But it is essential to pay them for their work.

it is very good and use full to every one
This is where all the ethics and morals comes to ground. Large corporations do the same thing that smaller ones do but like in every aspect of life. Smaller fishes gets eaten. Hope this scenario will end soon otherwise all those free lancers, small companies and freshers will not have any ground to play after all innovations comes from them only.
Practicing ethical values or moral values online has been often posed as a great menace or challenge to the IT world. There are elements that wreck all havoc by going unethical and use and unfair means to earn especially in e-commerce domain. So at such junctures when you have software which can detect this, it would be great. Thanks for sharing this information, atleast we now that software companies are on their way to bring this tool soon in the market. Lets hope so for the best.
We need something like the GNU revolution in IT sectors to stop it. Its pretty obvious that if any one claim is proved to be justified then there will be many more following the line and finally we will be at a position where even the simplest of today applications will hold a long commercial supply chain behind them. End result – too much of unwanted expenses.
That’s the problem Sujeet, because of ignorant judges even OpenSource is not safe as is evidenced by the lawsuit and the award granted against Google.
Every filed same like this.it is very common in software field.Every new product will definitely use pre-software products.But they must pay to them for their work.
