Apparently, a lawsuit was filed against several major gaming companies by a company named Uniloc, including Mojang, Square Enix, Electronic Arts and more, regarding a patent infringement. It seems to me this company is just out to get everyone these days!
Apparently, Mojang is being sued for "allegedly" infringing upon a patent regarding "a system and method for preventing unauthorized access to electronic data stored on an electronic device"
Notch twitted regarding this matter, saying "Unfortunately for them, they're suing us over a software patent. If needed, I will throw piles of money at making sure they don't get a cent"
According to other tweets and data sources, the company Uniloc, appears to be as one tweeter puts it "experts in the patent infringement lawsuit business"
According to other sources, the owner of Uniloc has already successfully sued Microsoft over a similar issue.
Is it just me? or is this guy the kind of scum you think you only see in movies? You know, trying to get money out of everyone even if they did not do anything wrong?
