Steve Jobs looks to Tighten his grip on the market

Steve Jobs and Apple have filed a lawsuit against HTC. The complaint being that HTC is producing phones with certain technologies that break patents on several of Apple's products. One of Jobs's claims is that HTC is just copy catting apple, "We've decided to do something about it," he said. "We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."
Not that I'm a lawyer or anything but I don't know if Steve Jobs is really qualified to make those statements seeing as how his products are "full of innovation and originality"

However, Jobs has decided that it will only be fair if HTC is not allowed sell the phones that carry the programs within the United States, however, Jobs has also brought the case in front of the International Trading Board, a sign that he is looking to crush HTC under his Apply boot. Strikingly familiar maneuvering...

Strikingly familiar...

HTC has commented that it is not sure exactly what is happening since they have not had time to investigate the claims. However, Apple is still in a lawsuit battle with Nokia because Nokia believes that Apple has infringed on Nokia's patents. However, in a shocking turn of events Apple countersued Nokia for infringing on 13 patents. Apple is battling two corporations simultaneous in the quest for more money and more control of the market. Hmmm, two enemies, wanting more control, where have I seen that before?

WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE?!?!
