If you've got a better idea for how intellectual property should be protected or not, then, please start a political movement. Don't go after people following he laws as they are. Given the existence of the system, companies must patent and defend their patents. Isn't Google an obvious counter example? They patent software because that is how the system works but they do not use their patents offensively as a business strategy. Just becaus someone isn't breaking the law doesn't mean they are above reproach and doing good work. We should go after people abusing/influcing the laws in an unfair manner. Don't be mad at the patent holders for protecting their work- they published it for everyone to benefit from in exchange. They published the patents because you have to publish patents. Why are you assuming this is a benevolent act?
