[05/02/12 - 06:48:08]: The only reasons that the US court order makes sense is if the US incorporated Motorola entity sued Microsoft in Germany and not with a subsidiary in Europe. Most probably the patents are all concentrated in one company, which makes it likely that this would be a company in the US. In that case, the US court does have jurisdiction over its "citizens" on its own soil. Motorola could circumvent by transferring all its rights to a non-US corporation although, probably, it has licensed to European subsidiaries already who, with this ruling, have an independent right to enforce the German court order. However, considering the amounts involved, it would not be wise to enforce it until there's a definitive ruling.

[03/06/12 - 13:28:04]: @sheps: I am, so far, thoroughly unimpressed. The rather suggestive take on Marx' theories on page 18, the clay tablets which he assumes has monetary value (but could also be a contract and therefore have evidentiary value instead, Hammurabi had a court system after all, p.28), the confusion between credit and money on p. 31, "the central relationship that money crystallizes is between lender and borrower" is simply false. It goes downhill from there...
