True.. but the Acacia patent covers digitized audio that is downloaded from a server.. so Grasp or Atalk are very good examples of cruder audio/video downloaded from a BBS.

There were so many digitized audio from C64 to Mac to PC that it is the prior art to invalidate the patent.

The RFC's that you mentioned were found as well....I found some of the early authors of those RFC.

Thanks again for the post.. having more eyes looking does help alot..... if there is a duplication of finds, then I will take the responsibility to avoid that by combining the http://www.FightThePatent.com/v2/Searching.html page that lists the files I am searching for, and a new page I will start tomorrow that lists stuff that are deadends (and i have alot of them).

I also need to post up some new prior art finds (like the one that fiveyes found)


Fight the Patent!
