Did you know that a California company called Acacia Research claims they own
the patent to just about all streaming technologies, from Internet radio to
digital video webcasting? Last year they began demanding adult Internet sites
and Internet radio broadcasters alike pay them licensing fees for using their
"patented" technologies...so what does this mean for us listeners and consumers
of streaming services? If Acacia gets their way, it could mean that we'll have
to pay big money to access these services in the future.
