Gracenote v. Roxio CDDB Suit Settled

Posted by timothy on from the who-owns-what-words dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this update: "As reported via the usual sources, Roxio announced today that the lawsuit (read all about it on slashdot) with gracenote has been settled. To fresh up your memory: Gracenote ('cddb') sued Roxio because they switched from cddb to freedb for identification of audio CDs. Discussion on slashdot was active, especially questioning if gracenote really owned the titles. David Hyman, Gracenote CEO, added, 'We look forward to a long and mutually successful relationship between our companies through this new license for intellectual property and current and advanced music recognition services.' End of quote. Do I need say more than 'corporate lawyers'?"

    What the anon user forgot to tell us was, Gracenot won. Roxio is to be made bitch.

    I'll whole heartedly admit this is a troll.
