Now hold on there!!!!

"It is going to cost the EU and the world more because these patents for software are there especially to protect the interest of monopolies like Microsoft.'

What in the world are you talking about??? I sure am nothing close to a monopoly and I (my company) has software patents and it is the ONLY thing stopping big companies from rolling right over my rights.

This silly argument that only "monopolies" or huge corps are the only patent holders is completely bogus and you need to take your head out and look around. And no, "copyright" protects NOTHING when it comes to software. All one needs do is switch a few lines of code/function and it's "different". Try that with a book and see what I mean. It loses all value, not so with software.
