Transfer of digital media from a server to another computer has been patented... Patent applied for October 5, 2000, issued March 2006. Reading the patent does not show that the "inventor" actually invented anything... but just listed what COULD be done. In fact, it is my opinion it was already being done in October 1999 when they claimed to have invented this idea... at least on Porn sites.
PING!

ZapMedia, however, isn't interested in enforcing the rights. Because they know they can't.
Instead, the company plans to leave that up to the patent's new owners
Suckers!
