I am not sure if it will result in any real change, if anything it may deflect criticism as it gives far too many a cheap out; slacktivism is common amongst sites like this one where angst and such is acted out but results in very little actual change. The resulting discussion becomes the extent of effort most will put forward, nodding of heads and screams of me too. There are many similar sites raising issues that are important to society but the result seems to be the same, people come to blow off steam and get sated. It might be fun if the EFF could post a threshold for investigating patents, perhaps taking suggestions and pricing it. Let people buy the patent shaming. I know they take blanket donations but targeted ones might get more people interested. Sally Struthers style, for only a one time donation of, we can expose a patent.
