American rules? Yeah right! You've obviously not spent much time in the real business world. You get enough truly well educated, and most importantly, well experienced lawyers, there are no rules. There are such things as industry business practices, rogue employees you didn't know about, and other such nonsense one can hide behind in a court of law.

Maybe it is different in your part of the world, but american corporations have to abide by rules now.Those rules are often governed by the federal justice system. When issues are valid, they play out well for the consumer (stakeholders).

Look at their mission statement. That is where their main scope is, or at least it should be from a business prospective.I think this is the mission statement:"To develop, manufacture, and market technology-based products that provide equal access to information and computing for those with vision impairments or learning disabilities." (I found this on the 'about us' page from their main webpage.Modern business's work towards their mission. If their mission is comprimized by a patent infringement then they will do what they can to protect their mission.It may be an emotional issue for some of you, but I'm sure the objective is to keep the company in a position to continue with their mission statement.Let's move on to programming related issues, a?
