There is a company called Acacia that claims to own the patent on recorded
streaming media.
They are asking that people pay them huge amounts of money to license

their DMT
patents. How do I know about this, because we got a letter from them

asking us
to pay them $10k to license their patents. They are not playing around,

they
even sent these letters to universities, online radio stations and so

forth.

They claim a patent on ALL streaming media? Wow -- that's arrogance of
Microsoftian proportions.

Well, I suppose if they want to stop our fun, they can have a whack at me.

But they'll have to stand in line to do it. ;-)

(What's a "DMT patent"?)
