   SanDisk makes some great little mp3 players. I've had several (which get passed on to my wife and daughter when new ones come out), and I just bought a 4gig w/ video that blows the iPods away. And it's not so expensive that you're afraid your change will scratch it if you put it in your pocket.
   
   Why is there no mention of Apple (the new Microsoft) being behind this frivolous suit?

   Except that it is not really free, think about all the lawyers involved. . .

   Wheres the counter lawsuit?

   Please tell me that sandisk is going to sue for punitive damages incurred by not being able to properly show their device at the show.
   
   I want them to sue the court for issuing the injunction, and I want them to sue Sisvel for their practices as well.

   Surely you don't mean....

   Techdirt's standard cynicism is confusing me a bit here. Surely we aren't criticizing Sandisk for not forcing the courts to overturn the injuction earlier?

    SanDisk should sue the German court that implemented such a ban in the first place. Not to mention the losses they may have suffered as a result.

    You know, I can't find in any article what SanDisk is being accused for patent infringement for. Yes I know it has something to do with Mp3's, but is it for interpretting and playing them on the player, or is it the software player itself, or is it for storing Mp3's? Anyone know why they are being accused of patent infringement? Other that because a Patent Troll says they are?
