MORPHEUS creator StreamCast Networks is facing yet another legal battle, with Australian-run software developer Altnet launching action over patent violation allegations.
Altnet, run by Australian expat entrepreneur Kevin Bermiester, filed action in the US District Court in Los Angeles today alleging StreamCast violated patents on a file identification technology it owns.

The patent suit alleges the company and its chief executive Michael Weiss violated three patents Altnet covering Altnet’s TrueNames technology.
