Re: Scott's Lawsuit

**"* Z* <b*@gmail.com>**

Dear List,
I would appreciate a web location where I can look at pictures of the actual 
products in dispute and make up my mind. Is this truly a product 
infringement or not? My experience having seen a number of cease and desist 
letters from a number of companies including those from Google is that 
eventually the result will be that small company will lose to the company 
with the deepest pockets.
