Apple has been accused of using another company’s technology without permission. The Mac maker was this week accused of violating the intellectual property rights of Burst.com, which maintains Apple has infringed four patents relating to music and video downloads on demand.

Burst’s complaint, filed with the US District Court in San Francisco, is a response to an Apple lawsuit filed against it earlier this year. The Apple suit seeks the dismissal of Burst’s patents – 4,963,995; 5,995,705; 5,057,932 and 5,164,839 -as invalid and a non-infringement ruling.
