Yes, patents suck. But talking will do nothing. We need to literally put our collective money where our mouthes are. I am only half joking, but somebody please run a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of reforming the patent system, I will gladly donate. We need to lobby the sh_t out of our government. Start stuffing money in their pockets - this is the only thing the beast understands. Get them to phase out the patent system - that is, issue no new patents, wait for current patents to expire. We also need to create an alliance of companies that agree to never sue each other over existing patents. We need to publicly shame companies (namely, patent trolls) that use patents solely for exploitation. Yes, maybe these ideas are dumb or naive, but they would still be more effective than just talking about it...
