Your "Easter eggs" made me think of Paper Towns. Mapmakers used to add fictional towns on their maps as a copyright trap. Worked well for you.

[@NotAnotherDouc-]

Hopefully Casetify just settles the lawsuit quickly, because it’s hard to even imagine a more clear-cut case of design theft than when they’re selling dozens of products that are obviously filled with what amounts to another company’s watermarks. They’d be best served to put this behind themselves as quickly as possible.

[@NotAnotherDouc-]

@@KS-vo3hf That's probably not true. A settlement in a situation like this would general include conditions of removal of all stolen intellectual property. I've also read that Casetify has already quietly removed all of the cases with stolen IP since the lawsuit went public, so they know they f'd up and are very unlikely to try it again anyway.

As an amb. wheelchair user thank you for what you're doing. Wheelchairs are so expensive and inaccessible to a lot who need them. You're doing amazing work.

[@eidodk]

Only in dystopian hellscapes where people have to pay for them, themselves. A functioning social safety net and a medical system will take care of that cost for you. I hear my "american" readers all chime in: "But i don't want to pay for someone elses health care"... Imagine what purchasing health insurance does.. It sure doesn't cover your health care for as long as you have to suffer heavy copays... What it actually does, is PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSES HEALTH CARE..

[@corbinbrier0]

[@StephenFasciani]

@@eidodk Yeah. Health insurance is done incorrectly here, you're completely correct. But I also don't want to pay for anyone else's healthcare. The problem is healthcare was cheaper, it was more affordable. But once the government got involved HOSPITALS started charging A SHITTONNE to make double the profit. Before Obamacare, the only thing that was tough to get was surgery. But at least you weren't taking out what student loans are for that.

[@eidodk]

@@StephenFasciani You're part of the problem though. The notion of "not wanting to pay for someone elses healthcare" is exactly what's wrong with the US. That's the quintessential idea of what taxes are for - SERVICES RENDERED TO THE PEOPLE PAID FOR BY THE PEOPLE. The US is such a fearful place, you spend the taxes on the millitary instead. The best evidence for it being a fearful place, is that homeowners thinks they need guns to protect themselves - That is ONLY an issue in places where the country is at war with itself. The problem was NEVER the hospitals, it was the insurance companies. The "free competition" between insurance companies is what has created the hellscape. It's now an insurance INDUSTRY, with billions and other billions of revenue for stock holders. A state controlled health industry would be a zero sum industry, in which the ONLY thing that is necessary, is to balance the budgets. If $10 goes out, $10 has to go in. Until your country starts thinking more like a group, than a country of individuals, it will only get worse.

[@eidodk]

What you've done with those easter eggs is actually an extremely old form of copyright protection. Map makers used to intentionally do the same thing in their maps to stop rival map makers from copying them and could take them to court and point out those same easter eggs. Kinda cool! It theoretically SHOULD still work in your own defense I think..

Programmers will do the same thing with their code, too. Companies will sometimes ask for a demo of a program and copy it to avoid paying the programmer, so including an Easter egg like that is a great way to win a lawsuit.
