in their view, you are violating their patent if you link to a sponsor with streaming media unless you license from them.
OKAY - Can someone please clarify if this is considered double-dipping or NOT?

That's what my understanding of it would be..

Actually, anyone remember what net radio show had the Acacia lawyer on? It's archived and I remember the lawyer explaining double-dipping, and that they wouldn't ever go after sites that link to the content such as TGPs, MGPs, etc.

Anyone remember?

Cheers,
Matt
