:The legal system in this country needs a major overhaul.
Buy the rights to something and then sue everyone who uses it? Such a lawsuit is not a problem if there were actual rights breached and a company is just trying to get the justice they worked for.... but the business this company is in is just abusing the legal system because they know the cable companies can pay up millions.
And who gets shafted in the end? The customer.
This would be like either Intel or AMD receiving patents for new processor designs and then suing Dell, Gateway, HP, Sony and other computer manufacturers who choose to use them.
