Yes, patent it. Then nobody else can do it!

Nah, they'll sell the licensing rights for others to do it.

Yeah that's best case scenario at this point. But after they forced users to agree to a new agreement with their remote control or no longer be able to use their Roku/TV I sort of doubt they have our best interests in mind.
