I just hope this type of research isn't going to end in a patent encumbrance, like it did with JPEG and MPEG.
These techniques are right around the corner, no matter who invents the file formats.
So if their idea is to lock these general ideas down with more patents, I'd want them to stop their research and let people with more open intentions research this further.

This also looks like a meta-algorithm, an algorithmic way to generate domain specific compressors, potentially anything this thing creates would also be covered by patents.
