I'm Rather Ashamed....

I'm rather ashamed of Apple. As an intellectual property lawyer and ex software company owner, I believe that intellectual property protections are important to our society. However, I also feel that these protections must be balanced with the greater good, and with our own constitution (which many feel is for the greater good :-)).

The Apple/Pepsi commercial featuring kids accused by RIAA is so unfortunately misleading, that anyone who cares to do even a tiny amount of research can't escape the conclusion that it is yet another one of the RIAA's scare tactics. I very much like this remake of the commercial that shows some of the hypocritical nature of this particular ad.
