The problem I see with software patents is that they're usually attempts to patent ideas, but ideas aren't patentable. The implementations of most of the ideas in question are obvious and therefore not patentable. I don't think that we, as a society should decide to allow ideas to be owned, so I do think we should crack down on trivial patents.
