MP3 is out due to software patents. How many complaints we get per day? Film playing is out due to software patents. How many complaints we get per day? ... Of course, general discussion about software patents should be taken else were, to a place where it is more likely to produce good results, but people should be reminded that this problems we suffer are due solely to software patents and the evil they bring solely by being allowed and granted.
