Vincent, Completely expected. The only thing I find interesting is that PG fired the first shot rather than SoundView. Keep in mind that both of these companies "management" consists of lawyers, so rest assured that this was calculated by PG. Obviously there is no licensing agreement between SoundView and PG, contrary to the opinions of others. The only thing they agreed on was to disagree. See my note to pipwick. To everyone: The lawsuit is EXCELLENT NEWS from my vantage point, and goes a long way to substantiate why TV manufacturers and others have been reluctant to sign up any of the v-chip technologies. They, along with us, will now finally start to get some needed information on just whether anybody's patent is worth the paper it's printed on, or whether you should wall paper your bathroom with it. It also goes a long way towards validating those of us who have been contending for a long time how these players would likely play their hands. We'll also start to get some sense as to which players are going to end up standing when the dust settles. I'm very pleased with PG's action. And proud to know that I own unit #0002 of the "PG-Plus"! What a gas! This may start providing some entertainment value after all!
