You are so wrong in here.

The only thing it shows here is how we, as a community, are hurt by
allowing software patents to exist.

If I lived in the USA, I would have no legitimate way to take my CD's
into MP3s (which is what a MP3 player -- much easier to find and buy
than one that also plays Ogg/Vorbis -- plays).

There is no such act of that so called "piracy" (although I don't
understand what hijacking ships, murdering and stealing have to do with
copying).
