Back when Alex Blumberg of Gimlet Media was Alex Blumberg of NPR he did an episode of a radio show (which was subsequently released as a podcast) about someone who owned patents for a proto-podcast service that was distributed on cassette tape. He was using those patents to claim he was owed licensing fees by modern day internet podcasters.
