Today's lesson: Pot, Kettle, Black!

Too much IP

How much litigation is enough? These IP snipers don't intend to enforce their claims until after there is a revenue stream, then all the sudden look at them come out of hte woodwork! Why do standards body's allow IP into their standard in the first place? When will things like one-click ordering not be patentable? What god-damned-blooming Mickey Mouse finally become public domain? If IP limits are pushed back much farther, Homer's decendants are going to start claiming rights to the Odyssey!

For Christ's sake will western nations finally agree to review ancient and biased IP laws?
