JPEGs are not free: Patent holder pursues IP grab. I don't know what to say, really. I guess legally they can do this; but I would have thought there would another law somwhere limiting how long you can wait to try this sort of thing. Basically it seems extremely dodgy to start suing for royalties; after more than a decade of allowing royalty-free use of JPGs (ie. simply not pursuing the royalties).
