"More than likely, someone knew of the techniques used in EDIG's patents and just coded them up without concern.

The key here is to get someone to CONFESS to using EDIG Patented techniques in their products. If that is the case I would call them a THEIF and they should be punished by reward EDIG a considerable amount of gratuity."

That is exactly right, no one has stolen anything physically in e.Digitals case.

What they are stealing are the patented techniques. They are stealing are the ideas of paging an operating system directive(metadata) directly into data....along with that, the hardware issues needed to do that.
