Online DVD rental service Netflix has been granted a patent covering their entire process of renting movies online. The patent also covers music, video games and books.
The patent might cause problems to Wal-Mart, who recently introduced it's own service at prices lower than Netflix's. Netflix hasn't commented whether or not they are going to summon a lawsuit against Wal-Mart.
If you're a lawyer or plan to become one, you might enjoy reading the patent.
