 pokesphIt Is Almost FastPremium join:2001-06-25 Sacramento, CA kudos:1 | just a thought.. these companies have to be buying the equipment somewhere, I mean they don't just build their own, so why isn't verizon just suing the maker(s) of the infringing equipment?
If I buy a commercially made product and some joe-blow says I'm infringing, I'd lol at him and tell him to go stuff it. I bought and paid for this equip in good faith, and I'm not responsible for what the manufacturers do nor will I be.
I thing Verizon is targeting the wrong companies, but then again it makes sense to try to get the provider (equipment's end-user?) since they're more likely to get a good settlement from a deep-pockets cable/tel co. -- Webmaster - Steve - - - - - - - - - - - - »ppnhosting.com »www.1-gb.net »pokemonpalace.net |
