LAME isn't vulnerable to an attack.  Maybe some of their users are.
LAME only distributes source.  And they claim they are for educational
purposes only.  It's not illegal to distribute source to a patented
algorithm, because to get the patent they have to disclose the method
anyway and source is just a description of the algo.  However a binary
is an implmentation of the algo and there would violate the patent.
