Nah, a bit of patent horse trading, some licensing fees one way or the other, and it'll all be sorted out to MS' satisfaction.

Failing that, they could always buy Intertrust.

This is so funny. They seem to think they can win when trying to extort money from Microsoft.

I get this image of some two-bit street punk (Intertrust) trying to shake down Tony Soprano (Microsoft). You know how that scenario would end...

You are probably right. These guys also bought the xaudio libs, hoping to start collecting money when the xaudio-libs are common in a lot of MP3-software, by changing their licensing policy...
