Antitrust


       This movie tells the violation made by NURV Company to all their competitors. The company steals codes and ideas from other programmers and they make it their own. They don’t give credit and they take what they want by force. It just showed one of the real environment of the computer world we are living, ideas are important for programmers. They can make them rich and they can also drive someone to make stupid things. This movie shows the difference between open source and close source softwares. The NURV uses close source, they do not let others see their source codes because they know that one day someone might notice that the code they are using are only stolen and not originally theirs. Companies like these should by ideas and softwares to gain it, they must not use force in taking it. Microsoft buys software to gain it and things should go that way. It also shows the importance of patent, this is important for any programmer. But I think patency on software not fully defined. Also protect your ideas and be careful to whom you might tell it.
