  Australians Ronald Neville Langford and Paul Francis Smith, owner and managing director (respectively) of VueStar.biz, are threatening to sue every website on the internet for using graphic hyperlinking (ie. you click on a graphic/image, to access other webpages/sites) without paying them, as they claim they've patented the technology.

  They expect every website, search engine, and ISP in the world to pay them a license fee annually. They even intend to sue Microsoft, Yahoo and Google if they don't pay billions to them (VueStar.biz) every year. Quite distastefully ludicrous. The avarice is appalling. Do they enjoy being World Public Enemy #1?
