[News] Serious allegations about H&P | ANN.lu |

Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 20 of 164 | ANN.lu |

> ANONYMOUS poster ANY credibility!
Why do you think that in democracy people vote anonymously?
Because it makes them free to say what they think. Otherwsie this freedom would not always be possible. If you do not trust something, then verify it. In this case there are numerous and clear allegations (GIF, TCP/IP, Star Trek, Reaction, SIAE licenses, at least a couple more MPEGs from major companies, etc.) If everybody confirms that these items are unlicensed, and H&P just keeps saying they didn't know, they didn't need, etc., I think we can see a pattern here, and judge accordingly. |
