Scott VS. Sony VR - SCOTT DOUGLAS REDMOND BUILDS THE FUTURE

Scott VS. Sony VR

The general claims chart exemplified below is one of many claims charts on multiple intellectual property assets invented by Scott. In addition to other proofs of ‘first-to-invent’ status, signed NDA’s, leaked competitor emails, internal competitor documents, federal file wrappers, news videos, whistle-blower testimony, court records and voluminous other evidence exists to support the veracity of the assertions over IP rights.

Before anyone at Sony had designed, engineered, or patent filed certain hardware and software, Scott had already, designed, engineered, built, patent-filed, marketed, and offered for-sale-in-the-market, certain hardware and software products. Sony came to Scott to look at his technology. At one point Sony invited Scott to a global in-person Sony Board Meeting, at the Sony HQ in Los Angeles. Every major Sony executive in Media, Entertainment and Media Technologies, from Sony was there. Scott presented his VR, Video and Media hardware and software. Within a few years, Sony had copied and stolen every bit of it. In the Korean Hack (Thanks Kim Jong…) of Sony and Sony’s executives, all of the dirty and illicit deeds that Scott said that Sony was engaged in, were proven to be totally true! Since Sony refuses to pay Scott for his work and IP, Scott helps every federal law enforcement and regulatory agency stay focused on putting Sony out of business…

On this page we take a look at Scott’s patents VS. Sony VR:

Scott’s investigators have the DNA proof on business cards and documents, document leaks from the Korean hack and recordings of the meetings with the following Sony staff and others:

and more….

In 1989 Sony sent executives to see Scott about his VR technologies. Later, Sony just copied everything they had learned from Scott. The United States Federal patent records, and Sony’s own Korean hacked emails and records show that Sony got their core VR scheme from Scott!

SONY PICTURES WORK, RIP-OFF AND HACK CASE TIMELINE

* March 1, 2003 – Cable & Satellite International publishes article on Sony “Passage”” product. “Rite of Passage: Sony Lays Down Cable’s Future” – “Question: When is MPEG not MPEG? Answer: When it is an encryption technology and not just a compression tool.
This distinction is at the heart of Sony’s new Passage cable network system. Some are calling this the “Holy Grail” of the cable world.a pretty strong characterization, but one that may well be true. By leveraging MPEG not just for compression but also for encryption, Sony aims to revolutionize the cable industry, something that is desperately needed.Passage will allow cable operators to offer new services, including video-on-demand (VOD), without having to do a “fork-lift” upgrade of their systems. Rather, Passage works right alongside their existing cable network protocols to offer new services while still delivering the same services to existing set-top boxes (STBs). In the past, all cable networks were essentially one of two proprietary systems.Motorola or Scientific Atlanta. Unfortunately, those companies weren’t opening up to new and alternative services fast enough, nor were prices dropping without competition. For example, although TiVo-style PVRs have been around for several years and available from the satellite companies for even longer, cable only this year got a PVR for its networks, and even that was rather plain-Jane. The cable industry tried to respond with their OpenCable initiative, but this was a “vanilla” offering based in part on a combination of these two proprietary solutions with some badly needed enhancements…”

* On November 24, 2014, a hacker group identifying itself as “Guardians of Peace” leaked a release of confidential data from the film studio Sony Pictures. The data included personal information about Sony Pictures employees and their families, emails between employees, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased Sony films, plans for future Sony films, scripts for certain films, and other information.[1] The perpetrators then employed a variant of the Shamoon wiper malware to erase Sony’s computer infrastructure.[2]. The dumped data proves that Sony was a lying pack of theiving scumbags. The entire file set is still held, by multiple third parties, from mobsters to government agencies; and could pop-up, when needed, in any big trial or 60 Minutes-type investigation.

These are the steps that the The Public must demand in order to strengthen public integrity by eliminating corrupt financial conflicts in Congress. These “Big Tech Gorilla” abusers steal technology because they can steal technology. They buy politicians, lobbyists and shill reporters to help them get away with it.

Congress must be ordered, by the voters, to eliminate both the appearance and the potential for financial conflicts of interest. Americans must be confident that actions taken by public officials are intended to serve the public, and not those officials. These actions counter-act the corrupt actions taken by tech oligarchs officials in illicit coordination with U.S. Senators.

Small business has experienced all of the damages from each of the abuse-of-power issues listed below. Your public officials are being paid BRIBES through their family stock market holdings. We asked every office of Congress what the worst of the problems are and this is what they told us, below.

CUT THEM OFF – Demand that Congress make it a felony for any politician, judge or regulator to own stocks, or to let their family own stocks. If they want to get rich, they can go into another line of work.

If the public can get these laws made, it will end 90% of American corruption. Politicians won’t allow these laws to be made because it will cut off their corruption. Thus: You have to force the politicians to make these laws and leverage them with investigations and recall elections.

These are the actions needed to resolve this corruption:

Prohibit all government officials from holding or trading stock where its value might be influenced by their agency, department, or actions.

Provide easy online access to key government ethics and transparency documents, including financial disclosures; lobbyist registrations; lobbyist disclosures of meetings and materials; and all ethics records, recusals, and waivers.
Maintain a new government-wide Office of the Public Advocate, which would advocate for the public interest in executive branch rule-making.

Require individuals and corporations to disclose funding or editorial conflicts of interest in research submitted to agencies that is not publicly available in peer-reviewed publications.
Prevent sham research, like that from DNC shill McKinsey Consulting, from undermining the public interest by requiring that studies that present conflicts of interest to independent peer review to be considered in the rule-making process.
Improve the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Close the loopholes in our open records laws that allow federal officials to hide tech industry and Silicon Valley oligarch industry influence.
Codify the default presumption of disclosure and affirmatively disclose records of public interest, including meeting agendas; government contracts; salaries; staff diversity; and reports to Congress.
Require all agencies to use a central FOIA website that is searchable and has downloadable open records databases with all open FOIA requests and all records disclosed through FOIA.
Strengthen FOIA enforcement by limiting FOIA exemptions and loopholes, and by giving the National Archives the authority to overrule agency FOIA decisions and to compel disclosure.
Extend FOIA to private-sector federal contractors, including private federal prisons and immigration detention centers, and require large federal contractors to disclose political spending.
Make Congress more transparent by ending the corporate lobbyists leg up in the legislative process. The public deserves to know what Congress is up to and how lobbyists influence legislation.
Require all congressional committees to immediately post online more information, including hearings and markup schedules, bill or amendments text, testimonies, documents entered into the hearing record, hearing transcripts, written witness answers, and hearing audio and video recordings.
Require Members of Congress to post a link to their searchable voting record on their official websites.
Require lobbyists to disclose when they lobby a specific congressional office; specific topics of visit; the official action being requested; and all documents provided to the office during the visit.

Do these seem like common-sense rules that should have already been in place? They are!

These anti-corruption rules have been blocked by your own public officials because they work for themselves and not you!
