To serve MPG you do not need a streaming server. Just a hypertext link and you are off. What will Acadia do next? Sue everyone who ever used a hyperlink.

Yea, there I have it. I am going to sue anyone who used a hypertext link. I have a patent on that and I want on one hundredth of a percentage for every click.

I think that if you have MPG you are much safer from this kind of litigation.
Hey Sobe,

You may want to talk to your patent attorney, I think he lied to you considering British Telecom owns the Hyperlink Patent already.

Fortunately, trying to enforce this patent hasn't gone so well for them up to this point.
