EFF wants help busting the Seer patent

EFF wants help busting the Seer patent
[Announcements] Posted Jun 23, 2008 20:06 UTC (Mon) by corbet

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has sent out a call for prior art relating to a digital music sequencing patent held by Seer Systems. "We are especially interested in prior art (before 1997) relating to downloading and playing parts of 'musical work files' in real time. One such example might be a system for streaming media files by taking the file one piece at a time and downloading the necessary sound files and musical data for that part before playing it and moving on to another section."
