Here is what I know: a very large business with lots of money tried to
take something that was not their property by any definition. They used
their money to strongarm it away in order to increase their profits, like a
bully taking lunch money. At this point, etoy.com had every right to make
any sort of ridiculous move they needed to in order to fight the bully
away. It's sad, yes, that they had to go to such outlandish steps, but
it's what they needed to do in order to get the attention of the teachers
and the principal so this bully would go away. Any other case like this,
where big companies bully their way in to something that is not theirs,
usually ends in the little guy getting picked on, face bloody, in the dirt
with no one the wiser and the bully a little bit richer. I'm just glad the
bully did not win this time.
quoted 3 lines I'm not defending eToys, I'm saying making a blanket statement like "ETOYS>I'm not defending eToys, I'm saying making a blanket statement like "ETOYS
>IS EVIL" because of some past event that was ultimately resolved, and which
>you know very little about, is pretty stupid.
