    This is a very one sided take, to the point of being a press release from what are effectively professional scam artists and my respect for Ars Technica reporting has been decreased a notch for posting this.

    Software patents suck. :/

      Yup software patents are terribly bad, we need to abolish them https://endsoftwarepatents.org/

      Yeah I'm curious to see how this turns out, because I think part of the appeal of AV1 was how it's unencumbered by them
