Web P2P News: Altnet claims patent on P2P core technology

Quote:


	Just a few months after suing the Recording Industry Association of America, peer-to-peer company Altnet has begun seeking royalties from file-swapping companies over the same patent issues. For almost two years, Brilliant Digital Entertainment subsidiary Altnet has said it has patent rights to a basic means of identifying files on peer-to-peer networks. Now it's finally sending letters to popular file-swapping companies such as LimeWire, BearShare and StreamCast Networks, saying they need to pay for licenses or risk legal action.
