Re:
But they'd still be able to sue everything in sight. An active use requirement would only make them more aggressive, forcing them to pick smaller targets and kill them in their infancy.
The only way we'll bring justice to this system is to completely abolish business method patents and software patents.

Re: Re:
Sure it would, and that would be fine. That's how copyright is supposed to work. It isn't supposed to be clean-cut where big companies own all music in existence, and they are judge jury and executioner regarding how anyone is allowed to use anything - there's no such thing as fair use, you can't even sample 3 notes, and if you download anything ever, the RIAA sends out Judge Dredd to cut off your internet connection. It should be a nuanced grey area, with judges and laywers left to figure out copyright violations and fair use on a case by case basis. Average people competing fairly and openly in the free market with their own intellectual property will be confusing indeed. I can't wait! I want this confusing world, this world full of freedom where rights are restored to the average joe where they belong.
