> But still the idea that Jobs was the mastermind “bullying” these other companies instead of all of them being equally responsible doesn’t pass the sniff test.
That's exactly what the documents that came up in discovery showed. Not only does it pass the sniff test, but it passes the legal test too.
> But why was he the only evil one and not the CEOs of Google, Adobe, and Intel.
I never claimed he was. Still, measuring evilness on a scale, the one who proposed the no poach agreement to the others and tried to force it on unwilling other companies is clearly far more evil than the rest.
> And one of those companies - Pixar was also run by Jobs at the time.
How does that matter? In a world without illegal collusion, a graphics expert could be poached from Apple to Pixar or vice versa and make more money. What matters is that Jobs instituted his illegal program at all his companies, and that is evil.
