the u.s.' patent laws really need a fucking good revision.



some bloke has been able to patent d.r.m. and file encryption years after the two things became common practice.



the bloke stands to earn billions if his patents, only granted very recently, are upheld by the courts.



this is an absolute nonsense. the man's invented nothing - all he's done, because of the stupid u.s. patent system, is patent existing technology.
