I don't know who paid for this survey, but you have heavily implied it has a positive outcome for AT&T because it was funded by them or a similar party. This seems unlikely if only due to this quote:

If I were paying to have my company come across positively, I would not want the reasoning for it explained quite like that.

Budget crisis fixed. It took real leadership to get us back on the right track.

I thought the USPTO was cracking down on patent troll companies like this one that don't do anything else.

That's why you take the idea and apply it on your own websites.

They've planning this for some time. I got an email over a month ago telling me that "Diaganol View" claimed copyright on a Reuters video I had uploaded. Part of their email said:

"As long as diaganol view has a claim on your video, they will receive public statistics about your video, such as number of views... [Diaganol may also] place advertisements on this video's watch page."

They also said I could dispute the claim, so mistaken videos shouldn't be too much of a problem (hopefully).

Don't breathe this!
