After reading a few sentences, it all started sounding the same to me. I still came away from this with the perception that they patented a camera angle. This will not win back any points for them.

Stupid patents!

Lets vote to get rid of the patent system.

They are definitely soliciting people to respond on that statement page, I'm sure of it. That, or they're making accounts to validate themselves against the people who ARE real.

Or people really just don't care, which is entirely possible, but I won't let my faith sink that low just yet. If you'd patent a camera angle then you'd probably have no problem creating accounts to bolster your ego.

They said they never sued another company related to this patent, but they forgot to mention they have sent Cease and Desist(s) [1]

They claim their patent is very specific, then list points that amount to 'a camera on the back of the room, with a view of the instructor, and students around the room who aren't blocking the camera'. The supposedly non-infringing examples are silly, too - a bunch of videos with people standing in the way of the instructor. Can they realistically assert that not having students stand in the way, blocking view of the instructor, in an instructional/exercise video is novel, non-trivial, non-obvious and not done before?

Ha, and here I thought they were going to apologize and release the patent as the nonsense it is. Nope! Even better, a self-righteous screed about how there is nothing to worry about... for most of you.

The really upsetting thing is that the patent seems to center around a certain photographic composition. They've just added "oh and we stream it too". Couldn't this be extended to also cover non-yoga courses with the same composition technique?
