I came across this article at Appleinsider.com.

Lawsuits like that really make me unhappy. Honestly people! Every music store in the world organizes music by genre, artist, title, etc! And have done it for DECADES! How greedy and self-absorbed can people get?
Suits like that make me ask myself if software should even be patentable.
Why does it make you unhappy? If Apple is stepping on small software developers -- and illegally distributing patented designs -- then they should face any civil penalty that everybody else does.
Of all companies, I have absolutely no sympathy for Apple. If an open source, non-profit, small developer was being sued by Apple, then I am definitely sympathetic.
Apple already ripped off the Beatles, one of the best musical groups of all time.
