You need to move fast...

TRIPS and the Uruguay Round of  GATT (1994) mean the ruling may have 
some pretty direct and unhappy  implications for Europe if it goes 
unnoticed by the mainstream.

Unfortunately, the internationalization of anti-trust law lags  well 
behind that of IP law. Some of us think that is no coincidence given the 
consolidating/centralizing economic markets (in terms of consolidation 
into fewer companies) among the G8.

The EU may be the best hope for starting to balance some of this out. 
But the M$ settlemetn isn't a gret cause for hope along those lines.
