Steam Hit by PATENT TROLL

How petty are they?

Why are all the videos lately interlaced?

BT probably has one guy getting paid minimum wage in the basement constantly writing lawsuits towards big companies that they know are bogus because if it pays out it could be billions

Whats the end game for BT? Their history of lawsuits just seems expensive and in the google lawsuit, counterproductive?

Also why steam? why not Xbox or PS4? do they see steam as smaller and more vulnerable? seeing as I'll forget about this whole situation in like 12 hours, it would be rad to see a follow up in the future to jog my memory! lol

Speaking of steam, anybody down to play some Steam or Xbox games? Steam: noahkelley1109 Xbox: Picklehairs

"A method for delivering structured messages comprised of information and data parts to an intended audience in a reliable and predictable manner"

That could be used to describe TCP/IP(You know, The Internet fucking Protocol), they could sue anybody they goddamn felt like with that patent alone... Can we just get rid of software patents already? They've never helped anybody and are only ever abused by dickheads trying to make money off the hard work of others.

So... If I understand this right, BT is a British cable company?

That explains everything. Just like every other cable company, they're bitter about people moving to internet for their video entertainment so they're suing everything they see as part of the internet or part of a way to watch things.

Everyone should listen to Stephan Kinsella when it comes to patent law, even though he is as abrasive as I am.

Wonder how this will turn out.

Thank you Ashley for describing the difference between Patent, Copyright & Trademark in past videos so that I can understand what each means when they come up in news stories.

For non-Brits: BT are cunts. They have a death-grip monopoly on the telecoms networks in the UK and run it poorly, they have a customer service experience on par with a fungal infection, and as owners of the telephony here they regularly are the limiting factor in speedy resolution of service issues for UK ISPs.

Their shadier ad campaigns include their recent billboard announcement that they have the "the UK's most powerful WiFi signal" in what could be seen as an attempt to dupe less tech-minded consumers.

Pretty sure most homeless people can read, Burnie. Stop.

When will money-hungry companies quit trying to get money years after they claim to have been infringed upon? Stop. It's ridiculous. Stop. Stop! Stop.

those patents are so broad they cover about all the multimedia services in the world... Never gonna stick, cause if it would they would also have to go after microsoft, sony, ...
