  1. MS Patent Question by Alien54 · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Just how extensive is the MS patent of the DRM OS?

    Is this one of those things that many years after the fact, when they get around to marketing their own product, they turn around, and tell everyone else that they are in violation of the MS Patents, and either cease and desist, or give up the family jewels?

    Do we face a situation where people are doing all of Microsoft's work for them? Why should we bother?

    Talk about stifling innovation!
