The Rocket Docket strikes again. . . Apple hit with $533 Million judgement by a patent troll who claims to have invented the Business model of iTunes and holds seven almost identical patents on buying online content with credit/debit cards which may or may not include DRM, with most of the patents filed in 2010 or later, but claiming a 1999 priority date. Nowhere in these patents does the "inventor" actually describe HOW to DO what he claims to have invented. . . just describes that "if you do this, you could do that, and get this results." They are business model patents! For things that were being done by others for some times before he even had his "idea." SHEESH! PING!

Patent trolls should be vanished off the planet, and not in a good way.
