Dill if their was nothing to BRST's claims

..... Microsoft would not have settled for something that substanial either.

Wether this also applies to Apple and Real still remains to be seen.

IMHO, The days of reverse engineering and outright theft of source code that people turnded a blind eye to is no longer an acceptable practice. MSFT knows this better than anyone. There are way to many dollars at stake and the Video streaming business is going to be a big muli-billion dollar business in the near future.

Apple has been a victim of this in the past so if they are violating any of burst's patents they should reach a settlement agreement.
