LGP Adds Downloads and Rentals
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Game Publishing blog was updated today:
|
| A lot of you asked for the ability to download games.
|
| We have listened and created the reseller download system.
|
| From today all resellers will be able to sell downloadable copies of LGP
| games, and these will be cheaper than boxed copies. LGP is not selling
| downloadable versions directly, as to do so would seriously damage the
| ability of the reseller chain to compete meaningfully.

Patent trolls and rental car companies
,----[ Quote ]
| I was at an event this morning where the subject of so-called "patent trolls"
| came up (see also an earlier posting). Trolls are creatures who live under
| bridges and demand payment from travelers who wish to cross the bridge.
| Patent trolls are companies and/or individuals who buy patents for the
| purpose of making money off of infringement claims (rather than for the
| purpose of marketing/developing the invention). As such, trolls are a
| subcategory of (and take the organizational form of) the patent holding
| company. A good example of a patent holding company is Royalty Pharma, which
| makes its money off of the royalty stream. However, defining a troll, and
| differentiating it from a holding company, is sometimes tricky.
