Another patent

A second TuneTo.com patent has issued! These things literally take years to get through the patent office. This one, 7,020,637 covers different claims than the first one that issued in 2003 and is a continuation of one I originally filed before TuneTo.com was acquired by Listen.com. It is great to know that Rhapsody has additional patent protection now. Although patents by themselves do not gurantee success, they will help keep competing digital music services such as iTunes, Napster, Yahoo Music (MusicMatch), and MusicNow from ripping off Rhaposdy. That will help to insure that Rhapsody continues to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars per year of revenue for RealNetworks.
