I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Art Rosen
— whom I've gotten to know quite well over the
years—to learn the reason for his apparent distress.
ARR: So tell me, my friend, what are you so
upset about this time?1
Art: Well, although I hate to get up on my high
horse or sound self-righteous, I do appreciate this chance to
vent.
ARR: So what's the problem? Some of the
horrible recent cases like Equifax, Vodafone, or
the Texas comptroller's ruling regarding nexus with an
out-of-state online provider of intellectual property?
Art: No, not those; I was not directly involved
in those cases, so I acknowledge that I may not know the whole
story.
My concern is with my personal experiences in a few matters this
past year. One would think that after all these years, I would be
willing simply to accept these seemingly incredible situations, but
I still find them quite vexing.
