> the judge in question was probably just paid off or otherwise influenced

That's a hell of an accusation.

I guess you haven't been reading comments and articles on Slashdot, Groklaw and even HN over the years. Such wild accusations against MS are the norm.

If you want a good chuckle, read this "article" and comments.

I know MS's reputation, and I remember when it was much worse.

I just expect more out of HN than "M$ is is buying judges with l00t."

No evidence, no simple argument, just "I don't like it so they must suck and do evil."

'influenced' could just be fast-talking

True, but that's not really the tone of the post. Accusations of bribery and calling court orders the "violent arm of the state" means he's lost benefit of the doubt.
