Patents
Everytime they have a story about patent infringments, you get the same complaints.
I, for one agree that software patents should be made illegal. And when someone patents something now, in 2-12 months time, technology has advanced so much, the patent should be null and void.

For those that live in the US, why do you partition Congress or who ever to scrap software patents.
