Steve Jobs, 1996: "Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal" [Apple]

Oh, hello! A trip to the YouTube wayback machine shows that 1996's Steve "Great Artists Steal" Jobs might have taken issue with 2010 Steve Jobs, and his patent lawsuit firebombing of HTC. Irony!
The comment was made during a 1996 PBS documentary called "Triumph of the Nerds," and looks a smidge hypocritical in light of today's events. As does this one: "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." Goodness. If that's true, then lawyering up against innovative competitors must be the one of the best ideas you ever heard. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU via commenter Fractal the Meek]
