Are you a moron? video "streaming" is not what their patents cover. 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.

Zip up an avi. FTP it to your grandma. You have now supposedly violated their patents.

Also. I hate to call you a moron again. But i was personally downloading videos albeit short videos 10 seconds long that looped in 1986 via my 1200 baud modem from a local BBS. Yes i was a nerd and it was enough to spank it to. No it wasnt common. But it was damned sure before their patents were issued. Hell.. i found porn on my dad's computer in 87 cause he was on the university dial up system and had access to the newsgroups. So i'm not sure what you mean by "public domain".
I'm assuming you have some evidence on this and given it to IMPA.

This is the kind of thing they need to bring this down.
