Patent Troll Claims You Owe Them Money If You Use Wi-Fi

     "Innovatio has made a strategic and business judgment at this stage
      that it doesn't intend to pursue [lawsuits on the basis of]
      residential use of WiFi," McAndrews said during a phone conversation
      last week. (Niro's offices in downtown Chicago are located about five
      blocks away from Innovatio's office. The U.S. Patent and Trademark
      Office shows another address for Innovatio, in a house at the end of a
      cul-de-sac in Ladera Ranch, Calif.)" ... "This is not a
      seat-of-the-pants, fly-by-night shakedown."

By their good graces, they claim they won't go after residential
users -- at least for now.

Naw, it's not a "fly-by-night" shakedown.  It's a fly-by-day shakedown.
