Actually because they haven't went after Emacspeak they know they would lose.  
Every where on the web people know who came up with Earcons  I don't care if FS 
has a patent they can not prove they came up with it in court if Ranmon 
actually goes against them because he has global proof.

Dusty,

The fact of the matter is that you could have "invented" your audio-icons 20 
years ago, but because FS has the documentation to prove it is their creation, 
you have absolutely no legal standing. What if I were to file a lawsuit against 
FS claiming I invented the notion of a "screen reader" 25 years ago? FS' 
attorneys will say: "Oh yeah, prove it with any other verifiable/credible 
evidence beyond hearsay." At that point I would have to pack up my paperwork 
and try to figure out how I was going to pay for my legal costs and what might 
end up being incredibly inflated attorney's fees.

You've also made kind of a huge blunder in posting your thoughts (after the
fact) in a public venue such as this one. Let's say you continue on your quest 
to create this audio-icon utility, at some point during discovery, FS' 
legal team need only produce your previous e-mail message where you admitted 
awareness of the similarity of your idea and their already existing utility, 
and your statement conveying your desire to continue on your path, they will 
have pretty good standing by which to show intent of you disregarding their 
claim to their creation. Yes people, e-mail messages can be very legally 
binding documents. This is why I laugh at those phony tough guy morons on these 
lists posting messages conveying violence upon others. When they do it more 
than once it begins to demonstrate a pattern of aggression. If such an idiot 
ever does act on his aggressions in any way, the district attorney need only 
print some of this idiot's messages and label them exhibit XYZ--the fool will 
essentially hang himself with his words. An no, you can't just call your lawyer 
(if you can afford one) and expect to go home without repercussions. There will 
absolutely be a civil lawsuit waiting for you.

Dusty, just continue exploring your research and maybe you'll bump into a 
unique discovery on your way to knowledge acquisition. there are tons of 
stories where individuals have accidentally discovered something completely 
unexpected when testing their theory or widget. Don't worry about a thing. 
You've not broken any laws or violated any patents. At this point you have 
demonstrated awareness of the fact that you simply bumped into an already 
existing idea, and by stating your surprise you'll be just fine. Hell, even a 
crappy defense attorney can simply print the progression of your messages 
regarding this thread and show a progression of understanding of the fact that 
you simply bumped into something that was already created and utilized by 
another. Your response of shock to my informing you of the speech and sounds 
manager says it all. Don't worry about a thing--this is no big deal at all. If 
you live outside of the US you're perfectly alright since I doubt a bounty 
hunter will come looking for you with a little letter, but if you still feel a 
little anxious then call one of those talk show attorneys and ask them for 
their opinion free of cost. Keep in mind that I'm just any other yahoo out here 
so you should act accordingly.

Matthew
