Absolutely true, when something concerns B people lose their fucking mind. When people who like an even playing field point out comparable or even same behavior / events done by others? Then it is just 'whataboutism'.
Btw: i hope not just a handful people know the story about Dave Smith fucking over Dave Rossum by one-sidedly deciding to stop payments for E-MUs licensed poly keybed tech:
"But then Sequential Circuits had decided they were no longer going to pay us royalties for the Prophet 5. We called our lawyers, and though we would probably win a lawsuit against them, it would be expensive. The Audity would take several years to produce the kind of revenue we needed for that – could we come up with another product quickly? The Emulator was about to be born."
EMU designed and patented a digitally scanned polyphonic keyboard that was licensed by both Oberheim for the Oberheim 4-Voice and 8-Voice synthesizers and by Sequential Circuits for the Prophet 5.
Another thing is that Boog Moog didn't "invent the Theremin or so", he got a foothold by selling (dare to say 'unlicensed'?) kits based on another dudes' invention. Has he ever knowingly paid tribute to Lew Thermen?
