>Proview has since declared war on Apple in its back yard, by filing a lawsuit in the US alleging it was deceived into selling the rights after Cupertino hid its role in the purchase by using an intermediary firm registered in the UK.<
I thought this was what copyright was designed to do, reward the creator for the act of creation, ie Proview for coming up with the name 'ipad'. Trying to screw the creator by pretending to be a small firm with no financial mountain smacks of deceit and attempts to cheat the creator out of a fair deal, or, you could say, Apple were being pirates in Hollywood's eyes.
