I'm going to pick at this because of how its being touted (as an Acacia patent fix/killer)
But from reading the site, if the Acacia matter didn't exist - this system sounds pretty cool
(if there was a full featured player anyway). I mean streaming over flash at 40% smaller filesizes than current methods? Woo nice.
Anyway here are some questions for ya Keta:

First, the Acacia patents specifically mention that the receiving device has end-user controls to influence the playback of the media. Our solution does not.
|
This doesn't sound very good?... you hit play and it plays all the way through? No stopping or going back? Ugh.

Our system does not allow for the media to be stored on the recipient?s computer.
|
Cache = stored, if someone REALLY wanted to, they could play it back no? Is it in downloaded to the browser cache?

Otherwise, our system is essentially the same as transmitting data of any type from one computer to another through digitization (1's and 0's) and TCP/IP. Acacia holds the patents for neither.

From the site:
...and allows for file size to be at least 40% smaller than currently available QuickTime, MPEG, Real Media, or Windows Media solutions.
That's not compession?

From your site...
Uses technology not being disputed in the pending Acacia lawsuits

Sounds good...
But I guess the question is - will you & your company stand behind that claim, or dodge it with a very specific liability waiver/disclaimer in the EULA?
Also, is the attorney that has been advising you a specifically an IP attorney? Could we get his name? I'd like to know who to hire if/when Acacia comes knocking if we opt'd to use this system.
