Re: TiVo gains second judgment against Echostar Oh FFS. Whatever, your agenda is right, blah blah.
Simple fact: Echostar didn't steal Tivo's code, period.
The Tivo patent is based on pre-existing work.
There were other DVR's besides Tivo's in development, including Echostar's concurrently
IMHO the patent shouldn't be granted in the first place, but it was, so it's a moot point.... but I'll be damned if I let myths and lies slide by as if they were historical fact.
It doesn't affect the outcome, but the outcome is just as unjust now as it was then. Believe what you wish, but pardon me for not supporting an injustice when I see it.
