Intel fires warning shots at Microsoft, says x86 emulation is a patent minefield

Reminds me of a list of "copyright myths" I saw in school.

The first nine were, "you think you can do this simple thing, this reasonable thing, or have any freedom whatsoever? SCREW YOU."

The tenth claimed it was a myth that copyright levied oppressive burdens on the consumer.

Lesson: With any type of intellectual property protection, you can usually just presume it works in the most totally disgusting way imaginable.

Laws operating in a grotesque and unfair way is hardly confined to intellectual property law.
