> Do you get sent to jail because someone saw you, or because you were stealing stuff?
You're sent to jail because you were caught, tried, and convicted of stealing things. The act of stealing alone does not send you to jail. Same with patent infringement. The act of infringement alone does not force Apple to shut down iMessage. VirnetX is required to actually file the lawsuit, and then win, for Apple to be required to shut it down.
