Xbox Live leads to Microsoft being sued

,----[ Quote ]
| MS therefore break the patent because they pay nothing to Paltalk for use of
| the technology with their Xbox Live service, which stretches right across the
| world. And a quick word of warning to anyone in the UK, since Paltalk have
| one registered there too. It seems like Paltalk, who run an Instant Messaging
| service similar to that of Microsoft’s own MSN, are doing this to simply
| boost their reputation. Live has been up for four years in November. Could
| they not have pointed it out to Microsoft at the time, before it got huge? Or
| did they simply “forget” that they had filed the patent until now?
