I’m not sure why you focus on them, as though they were the only media fingerprint technology. And they have already “branched out”… like most of the others they have many applications already. And why do you assume this is a “massive assault”? Is Echoprint as fast and as accurate? Does it have the same range of applications? Is it better? Do we know?
