Netflix Sues Blockbuster

This seems like an interesting lawsuit coming down the pike:

"Blockbuster has been willfully and deliberately copying Netflix's
business methods," Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey was quoted by the AP as
saying. Blockbuster issued a statement, saying that, "The company has not
yet had an opportunity to review the suit, so it would be inappropriate for
us to comment on it."


I wonder what took them so long. Blockbuster was offereing the same sort of rentals as Netflix for about a year or so now. Only now they are going after the infringement. Maybe Netflix got new lawyers or something.
