[MIK3]

I dont agree with this proclimation for many reasons....why are they even gonna try to attempt to do this, its just gonna piss all net users off, and if u ask me they are making quite a desperate attempt at this patent.  Does this apply stricly for jpegs?  or is it for gifs and bmps as well?  I hope this doesnt doesnt pass for usage and that we wont have to pay for everything that we see on the internet (jpegs).  God first a shameful attempt at mp3's now this...i wouldnt be surpirsed if they made and attempt to have patents which involve payments for messenger severs(trillian, AIM, YIM)and media/audio players(WMP, Winamp, QT )......i do not agree with this article...im sure alot of us wont...
