Alien54's Journal: Judge in MP3 case to Microsoft: time to pay up

Microsoft has been ordered to actually pay the $1,500,000,000 fine it incurred for violating MP3 patents owned by Alcatel and Lucent Technologies. US federal judge Rudi Brewster told the software giant that it's time to pay damages, after a trial jury found Microsoft guilty in February. According to Brewster the court finds "no just reason for the delay and therefore enters final judgment on these patents".
