Porn Sites May Stream No More

Is it necessary for the assholes to call them smuthouses?

non-event

huh?

Wired.com said it, so it must be true.

thats bullshit.. i wish i came up with that patent.

But seriously, that means no streaming of anything by anyone what-so-over

I bet you microsoft or apple or somebody will step up and sqaush them real soon.

Does this patent cover ticker tapes as well?

Tapes like stock quotes and sports scores?

Or buy them out and stick it to us themselves.

At least we know who didn't respond now.

Judge Alice Marie Stotler prohibited Extreme Productions, Go Entertainment, Lace Productions, WebZotic and Wild Ventures from transmitting compressed digital video from any of their websites.

Very funny!
Us laws or this accasssiaisa really makes me laugh....

I dont know how they even got the idea of creating patent
on such a thing...

interesting.

and wired is sounding more and more like setgo lol

Excerpt from their current patent: "The present invention relates generally to an audio and video transmission and receiving system, and more specifically to such a system in which the user controls the access and the playback operations of selected material."

So, it would seem to me that there are many ways around this.

First of all, just auto-play the video/audio, and remove the controls.

Secondly, it can be argued that in the statement "The present invention relates generally to an audio and video transmission and receiving system" indicates that their patent only applies to actual transmission/receiving systems, which if you are only transmitting, and the user receives it on their own accord, this is not a true system, as it has not been planned out, nor has it been setup to be a system.

In addition, their patent states "Audio AND video transmission AND receiving system(singular)".

The symantics of that statement do not apply to all video and audio streaming.

But, if you want to bend over and let them tell you that you have to pay them for something that you've been doing for years... Go right ahead.

By the way, if you haven't started yet,
Send me all of your traffic,
