Paul Deckers takes on Ric Richardson
After reading your article (as well as many other's) I must respond that your attempt to turn Mr. Richardson into a form of David v.s. the big bad Goliath or some modern day Robin Hood is only valid when you leave out the important and constantly over looked fact that Mr. Richardson's company has sued over 100 companies in the U.S., including my former employer; a small < 15 employee software developer who was so unfortunate to use a commercially available anti-piracy package which has been deemed in violation by Mr. Richardson.
Mr. Richardson is very simply a man who once had an idea but never the gusto necessary to turn it into a thriving business. He has let other's do the dirty work for him and now with his patent coming close to expiring he is shooting anyone in his way to an even bigger pay-off.
Mr. Richardson is the embodiment of what is wrong in today's high tech world.
Sincerely,
Paul D Deckers
