    We've been covering the frankly absurd claim that Personal Audio LLC owns podcasting for awhile now, but it looks like the patent trolls have finally been stopped for good (for real this time). Back in August, a three-judge panel of US Court of Appeals rendered the organization's patent invalid, and it looked like that was the end of this bizarre legal ride. But Personal Audio LLC wasn't quite finished. The organization's lawyers argued that this three-judge review process violated their client's constitutional right to a jury trial. This week, the appeals court rejected this argument without comment.
