- Comment on Google’s claim that search users have choice is “bogus,” Microsoft CEO tells judge 8 months ago:

What if I decide to print my own book? A book that has no copyright at all, should the print shop prevent me from doing so?
As you (hopefully) can see a print shop has no job enforcing the law just as much as an advertiser has to
