    Yeah, I know I work for a "Look and Feel" bandit but I don't necessarily
    agree with anything/everything that the Company does. 

I'm glad that you don't agree with Apple's actions.
But, even if you don't work for the legal department, you are still
helping Apple do them, by helping to feed the legal department.
Apple's lawsuits are more important than everything else Apple does;
from our point of view, Apple is an organization to raise money to
hire lawyers to attack us and take away our freedom.

If you are serious about your disapproval of the lawsuits, how about
trying to do something about it?  There are things you could do.  For
example, you could form a chapter of the LPF among Apple employees.
You could start an internal petition for Apple employees to demand an
end to harassment tactics.  In short, you could start a movement.

But the first thing that you can do is to respect the things that the
rest of us are doing to defend ourselves from Apple.  Don't ask us to
help you do work for Apple.  Understand that even if you personally
don't deserve noncooperation, Apple does.
