sounds like a penny-stock shell company using a press release to hype itslef up. Sounds like they are a zombie company using this patent thing to justify its existence and pump the stock price up.

What I wanna know is: who paid them?

You'd be surprised I'm sure. I bet it's some big names man. I know the popular opinion is that it's small game guys, but I beg to differ.

I know of one rather large content provider who cut a deal with them. Or was going to.

I read a related article a few weeks ago, one large mainstream company said they would most likely pay. Don't remember which one though.

Am I the only one who thinks this is fishy... I still don't understand how they were given a patent in this case...
