Nicely put David. If I truly had no hope that we are better than that, I would have given up on life a long time ago.
But I have been disabused of believing in Karma, at least within a singular lifetime, by all the clowns who do get away with things like this one at NAB.

But like Cameron Frye in 'Ferris Bueller', sometimes you have to take a stand. Sometimes you just have to go out on a limb and just say that no, it's not true -- it's not always true that if Avid had the chance, cash and power that they would behave as Apple has just done. Because sometimes we ARE better than that. Is believing in the better angels of our nature a thing of the past? Is expecting honor a mere cultural relic? Maybe. But not in my house.
