MP3
The Soft got slapped with a $1.52 billion fine for the use of the MP3 format by Alcatel-Lucent yesterday. That is a mighty large number, where did it come from?
Alcatel argued that the damages should be based on a royalty of 0.5 percent of the total value of Windows computers sold.
Ok, so 1.52 x 200 = 304 billion.
