So, in the category of not shocking, Neflix is suing Blockbuster for patent infringement. I mean, honestly, I'm not sure if you can patent mail order delivery of dvds. I'm also not sure you can patent wishlists since, you know, Amazon pretty much did that years ago. But it makes sense, because Netflix can't compete wtih Blockbuster's marketing budget, and if they don't do something, the Blockbuster service will probably run them right out of business.

Even though Netflix stock is currently worth, like, 8x what Blockbuster's stock is worth.

Yep. You can read all about the lawsuit here.

And then, if you think you know who's going to win, you can actually bet on it at -120 for either side at Bodog. I mean, I'm just saying, I'm not really sure how Netflix wins this lawsuit. But that's just me.
