Whom do I hate more? Internet pornographers or somebody who, in 1992, managed to patent video compression over networks, and is now looking for some little guys to maul before going after big bucks from deeper pockets. Students were writing compression algorithms in the 1970's, so I guess if you are trying to move the [large] video data files across a network, wouldn't the idea of compressing the data be obvious?
