Suggesting improvements

I think this article is probably notable but it is propped up by some slightly weak sourcing. The link to a wiki page would be better replaced by a link to the case/book (I'm not a lawyer, so it's not clear to me which it is) which it refers to in the first place. A better source for the Byrnes case is at Rominger Legal, or better yet the ruling direct.

There's an interesting other view on toothpaste theory here and a mention of it in the community here. How it relates to derivatives and there are other books that mention it: " Google book search has a good link to a paragraph in a book.

With these sources this would be a much fuller, and better sourced, article, good luck. Bigger digger (talk) 21:36, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
