On some level I think some things make sense to patent. And they are more algorithms. Let's say compression of file or image or stream. Sure go ahead and give those a patent. If they are superior someone will pay license fee. On other hand idea of compressing something should not be patentable. If someone can read few lines summary of patent and come up with solution that does same thing, but might not be interoperable no you should not get patent.
