U.S. District Court Judge Jerome Friedman said in a written opinion that there was "no dispute" that the online auction site eBay had infringed the patent in question, which covers the way people make online bids backed by credit cards. He also said there was sufficient evidence to suggest the company had done so willfully.

Will they now go after other auction sites? Should people be worried
