The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), developed by the IETF and published in 1998 as RFC 2326, is a protocol for use in streaming media systems which allows a client to remotely control a streaming media server, issuing VCR-like commands such as "play" and "pause", and allowing time-based access to files on a server.

Some RTSP servers use RTP as the transport protocol for the actual audio/video data. Many RTSP servers use RealNetworks's proprietary RDT as the transport protocol.

Google should definitely keep fighting the ruling if it can. [...]
Streamzy: A Fresh Face For Seeqpod’s Streaming Music
