Ok they grabbed some patents on the process of streaming audio/video off site correct?

This is a process used day2day by webmasters trying to earn a living.

Is this not the same as putting a patent on hammering a nail into wood? Thats a process carpenters use day2day to earn a living, seams like the same thing, no?

Naturally you cant have a patent on hammering nails, so why can acacia get what they got?

There must be someone in the higher chain of command in the patent offices, that would hear out the story, and re-evaluate the situation, possibly revoking their patents?

Maybe they didnt realize how frequently this process is already being used?

It just isnt making sense to me, and i dont know what site or link i can go to and read up on whats going on.

Links?
