Pretty sure BT is going to get fucked, even if they are government backed valve has innumerable defences here. I don't know if it's the same in the UK, but in the US they could simply say that BT didn't care about these supposed infringements when dozens of other companies committed them. Wouldn't Skype, team speak, ventrilo, TeamViewer, ext ALL be in the same boat?

All of their claims are as frivolous as they are vague. This is standard copyright troll behavior. When something becomes ubiquitous, the patent is no longer valid. It would be like Ford suing everyone for making tires.

i thought copyright trolls usually try to pick on companies that aren't larger than them, or simply individuals. If valve had the mindset i'm pretty sure they could bury these guys with lawsuits. why piss off someone that can fight back?
