It's All About the Money... 

Once again, some American company is suing lots of other American companies for something that would eventually lead to money changing owners. *sighs* This time it's Forgent Networks who claim they have the patent rights for parts of the JPEG format and are suing 31 major companies for not paying for a license to use the JPEG format in their hardware (digital cameras, especially). Read more about it here. I am thinking "you figured this out NOW? JPG-files have been in use since the mid-eighties and you've owned the patent for seven years and you just suddenly thought of this?"
