Apple Ordered To Pay $533M In Patent Lawsuit

I'm not usually one to defend Apple but it sure seems like they just got trolled...hard.

A federal jury in Tyler, Texas has ordered Apple to pay $532.9 million to patent licensing firm Smartflash LLC for using its patents without permission, reports Bloomberg. The court found certain iTunes apps to be infringing upon the Texas-based company's patents related to digital rights management, data storage and managing access through payment systems.
