something just seems really odd about this Acacia
deal

their patents specifically cover compressed video being sent from one place to another via phone, cable or satelite and then being decoded at that location.


okay but how can you patent something when there are many ways of compressing and decoding it? mpeg, avi, real.

was their compressed video really compressed or just a bunch of low res images just joined together to simulate a video?

it would seem to have a patent on compressed video you should have specified a standard for doing so.
oi mean there are tons of compression methods and what about the actual encoding standard itself?
