Has anyone got a theory as to why video and video streaming seem particularly prone to patent trolls? A few years ago people might have accepted the answer that "they're really complicated", but I think we all accept now that patents are pretty much BS. So there must be some other incidental business reason why so many people went and filed patents on these ideas. Because Hollywood has lots of money and a reliance on video but no tech understanding maybe?
