Software Patent nonsense

- Now Oracle has a patent for B2C and B2B. Perhaps someone should patent the process of breathing and then forbid all lawyers to use it.
- Revolutions happen if a small number of people can force a large number of people to behave in a certain way. People do not like to be restrained. Software patents, copy protections and large corporations start to limit what a person can achieve in his or her life. (Hell, they even have the guts to ask for "copy fees" while at the same time making copying illegal.) This is a danger to the corporations that they may not be recognising at this time. And kings get killed in revolutions. Maybe the next revolution will not be against a government but against an oppresssing IT industry that robs people of their personal freedom to create and communicate freely. I doubt that this revolution will lack bloodsheeding.
