I think in many cases, the issue is not really an "incompetent" legal department per se, but a culture of risk-avoidance combined with a legal department that doesn't really gain much either way and incompetent high-level management (in the sense that they don't spend a lot of time listening to those in the trenches). And sometimes things are rather more sinister (e.g. Apple's crusade against the GPL)... -miles -- I'm beginning to think that life is just one long Yoko Ono album; no rhyme or reason, just a lot of incoherent shrieks and then it's over. --Ian Wolff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
