These frivolous software patents are actually a blessing in disguise and will ultimately be their own undoing. As more and more "patents" are filed and trolls do their best to sue people into compensation, the media song & dance will get stronger and policy makers will sit up and take note. Then it's just a matter of time until blanket reforms are made.

- s8qnze982y 14y agoBlanket reforms will never happen in real world, because we're talking about huge quantities of money involved - a blanket reform the way, say, "many people would like it", would cause a sudden big loss to loss to big & powerful entities.
