what amazed me the most was how FAR they are going back in time suing past infringers... 6 years. look at the list of companies that have already paid them. matter of time before they come after this industry, if they haven't already.

they're not just trying to "milk a cow", they're trying to milk a cow that you ate, digested and shit out 6 years ago. no wonder Patent farms/marketers/incubators are launching at a record rate.
