GRC - If a transaction occurs electronically, and they are purchasing data, then the patent covers it.

Real time watching has nothing to do with it. We don't care if it is real-time, or never watched. We just care if they bought it, and it is delivered.

>>>US West is close to signing a distribution deal with Intertainer, a
start-up venture that provides movies, music and other forms of entertainment to PCs over telephone and cable TV lines.

This probably won't come within the patent unless the person records the movie, and watches at a later date. Real time watching is outside the patent.
