New MP3 players are being churned out even as you're reading this. In the largest patent ruling in history, Microsoft has been sued for using digital music technology without permission. Looks like Microsoft, the big boy of tech, isn't immune to being sued. I wonder why Alcatel-Lucent decided on Microsoft as it's first 'victim'. If, like in the article, Alcatel-Lucent decides to go after other providers, would it spell the end of iPods and what not? I hope not..!
Since Microsoft has been sued for USING technology without permission, I wonder if it's all just hype those lawsuits about peer to peer sites eg Napster where people SHARE songs.. Something to ponder on, isn't it?
