I am no fan of any of the big gaming companies but a little research shows lobbying for this patent in 1997 not the date stated, this also shows backdating to the stated date of conception, which is fraud, plain and simple. Just the fact the papers were "adjusted to date" is proof of deception.

The patent as of 2007 is a joke in itself, about as legaly binding as paris hilton claiming the phrase "thats hot" is hers, total crap. I hope worlds.com get crushed once the big investigations start, and dont think for one minute the big guys arent already digging.

there is always a nice electronic paper trail somewhere, especially since the timeline is so large.
