Acacia's patent does cover the use of streaming audio or video, but only for pre-recorded stuff.. not live.
According to Acacia it does, yes. I think if you read my points you might see that I have a fairly strong argument. I have found other problems with these patents, but I was looking for something that will make sense to someone who is not "skilled in the art."

Finding something that would qualify as prior art would be a nice quick fix. I personally don't think anyone will find anything that was in wide-spread use during, and before 1991. Remember, this patent doesn't cover the transmission of video/audio data alone, it describes a process of compressing, encoding, storing, requesting, transceiving, and play back.

Something that shows video and audio being transmitted does not invalidate this patent in any way.

If I was to build an embodiment from the patent documents, I would have to include all claims, unless specified otherwise. Leaving out any of the components of the invention would render it to be a different embodiment to the described invention.
