Ridicuclous
Software patents is for low life corporate who thikn that is they can buy a idea and then use it to STEAL MONEY from well establish companies.

Patents profits only criminal corporate who think extorsion is still the best way to do business (hey we are not the 30's anymore)

Patents is as bad to the consumers (it raise the prise of software) as copyright laws that grant way to much power for the digital (mafia. mpaa/riaa)

Patents on software idea (that is not in the form of a FULLY establish software) should be illegal and copyright on "enterteiment" product should be more then 3 years.
