In the past, a Goliath's strength would be gauged in height measured in cubits, the brass of the helmet, the coat of mail with a weight in thousands of shekels in bronze and a spear's head weighed in hundreds of shekels of iron. Nowadays, a Goliath corporation can just hire another Goliath, such as the law firm Kilpatrick Townsend, with its 650 lawyers and 19 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. The firm
boasts that "5 of the 10 world's most valuable brands turn to Kilpatrick Townsend to grow and defend the value of their products and businesses."
One of those "5 of the 10 world's most valuable brands" was interested in a video made by YouTuber Louis Rossmann.
When Rossmann was contacted by
Kilpatrick Townsend on behalf of Apple he felt as if the grim reaper was knocking at his door. An owner of a small business, an Apple devices repair store,
a few years back Rossman had started a YouTube channel to cover all things that interested him: Apple device repairs, business advice, personal advice, and occasionally, though more so of late, social or political commentary. The video that had gotten the attention of Apple was one in which
Rossmann had showed a schematic of an Apple device and proceeded to show his viewers how they could fix their own device if they faced the same issue. For Apple, the act of showing the schematic on YouTube was
a violation of its intellectual copyright.
They wanted Rossmann to quietly make the video disappear. Rossmann hired a lawyer, and the lawyer advised that the request was sensible,
there was no lawsuit, and thus the reasonable thing was to comply; besides,
a genuine effort had been made to butter up Rossmann — the word came that both Kilpatrick Townsend and Apple liked his work.
Rossmann thought about the option that he was given. Then he fired his lawyer.
Comment: Fauci's views on masks and Covid in general have had so many twists and turns that sensible people are (finally!) ignoring him.
