>>>>>[What the hell is this? I have just gotten sued by Yoshida Tech for
copyright violations! There was just a knock on my door and this suit gives
me a 40 page document. I haven't even read it all yet and I get the gist of
it. What the hell is this about, Yoshida!!!!!!!]<<<<<

>>>>>[I'm afraid I had no choice. The implications of allowing one to use
our code unrestrained would have given those in litigation against Yoshida
Tech ammunition in their claims.

Unfortunately, you did utilize Yoshida Tech's copyrighted algorithms in your
programs without permission. We have no choice.

But, if you will read the entire document, you will find that the damages we
are asking for a quite fair. You can, of course, dispute the claims if you
wish.]<<<<<
