Apple gets control of a critical digital distribution patent -- or at least, a critical sounding patent. Also, BitTorrent goes legit. Whaaah? This week's Context Machine looks at the movie industry's move to digital downloads. In the Product Roundup, hear three condenser mics compared, including the Behringer B-1.
The Weekly Roundup will be included in TMO's main RSS feed, and also in its own feed if you'd like to add it directly to your podcatching client.

To follow up from last week's comment, Jeff sounded very good this time. If you read my comment, thanks for fixing it!
I tend to agree that the patent purchase is primarily FUD fodder — the MPAA/RIAA drones will expect Apple to use it to club them, because they would do exactly the same thing if they owned the patent. So any negotiations with Apple, even if Apple never even mentions the patent, will go on with this hovering in the background.
I'm not sure why you cover the "other" download services as extensively as you do... after all, they don't support Macs, so why mention them?
