The whole bullshit about affiliates being safe is probably just spin anyway.
There are rules about "double dipping" that would almost certainly protect affiliates who fight in court.
They can sue the person using the patent, not the person buying from or selling to the person using the patent.
This press release is bullshit way to try to seem like these companies did it to protect you, when they really did it because they are to too wimpy to fight.
It looks like even Larry Flynt doesn't care enough to fight anymore.
That says a lot about where this industry is going.
