Lovely.

What I'd like to see is a judge decide who really has the patent for this. The three (Acacia, SightSound, and USAVideo) overlap each other in very broad manners, so much so that the SightSound and USAVideo are nearly indistinguishable (paying for video/audio downloads). Then you've got Acacia's patent which covers the basis of the other two patents - transmitting video/audio.

So how can three companies essentially hold the patent for the same damn thing? They're all three out there suing alleged infringers, the only reason this hasn't been brought up in court is that they haven't all three sued the same infringer yet. It would never happen, btw, as Acacia has no plans to put itself so high up on the radar by taking on a company like CDNow. Remember, they prefer the easy target of "low-hanging fruit".
