Good. Banning sales because something like this would not make sense.

Have the Courts come up with a "Fair" License Payment and have them pay it. MS is willing to pay, but the $4 Bill Google wants is to much. I bet it will end up around 1.5B.

Probably not even close, Motorola will be very lucky to get even half a billion but in my opinion it'll be less than that.

This suite is not just on Xbox, but all products (Phones, Windows, etc) that use the codex.   Its a larger suite in context than the Apple/Sammy one that ended up being right at $1B.

Read the following, it pretty much explains why the amount Motorola is asking for is outrageous and why they're likely to get far lower (even the half billion I mentioned is pie in the sky that Microsoft would never agree to and I doubt any court would either):
