I'm in two minds here. As a producer if you use one of my pictures you pay me. So if I invented something then I would want paying for it's use.

But if on the other hand these guys have just patented a broad process and just waiting for tecnology to catch up then it's wrong.

What I cannot work out is how anyone can patent something in this industry which is always developing new systems/processes and the rest of it. I would have thought the patented process has been replaced by something newer and better.
