Yes it is. I repeat: KU cannot be called a monopoly, nor can Kindle Fire be called a monopoly, by any stretch of the definition (and be correct).

Should've stopped there. That's basically the point I was making (plus noting the fact that @Frustratedreader wasn't calling KU a monopoly in the first place--as others were twisting their words to suggest).

It may not be unprecedented, but that doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it was a wild stretch of the definition (or whether it was a silly stretch). People often litigate based on wild stretches of fairly clear definitions. Doesn't change the fact that it was a stretch (especially when they lose).
