Re: eSoft Files Patent Infringement Lawsuits Against FiveCompanies

I think you may have put your finger on the interest in the patent  
without realizing it - it's not that someone who wants to do actually  
do such a thing would be interested in the patent, it's that someone  
who knows that someone else is already doing it would want the patent  
so they can sue them.

And then we wonder why everything has 'Made in China' on it  
nowadays.....

"Genuinely objective journalism not only gets the facts right, it  
gets the meaning of events right. It is compelling not only today,  
but stands the test of time. It is validated not only by 'reliable  
sources', but by the unfolding of history. It is journalism that ten,  
twenty, fifty years after the fact still holds up a true and  
intelligent mirror to events." - T.D. Allman.
