Hi all,

We occasionally come across some news which simply makes us go "DAFUQ did I just read!!??", this thread is a one stop list of all the stupidity that human beings are capable of dispersing.

Let me start up with this :

UK Judge: Galaxy Tab "Not Cool" Enough To Infringe iPad

Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) won a legal ruling after a U.K. judge said its Galaxy tablets aren’t “cool” enough to be confused with Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPad.

.
The Galaxy tablets “do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design,” Birss said. “They are not as cool.”

Anti-piracy Group Fined For Using Song Without Permission

Five years ago a composer created music for use in a one-off anti-piracy video. However, without his permission it was used time and again on dozens of commercial DVDs such as Harry Potter. Even in the wake of a huge controversy over “corrupt” and “mafia-like” practices, the local music rights group that got involved in the case failed to pay him the money he was owed.
