    Fuck patent trolls. Patents should only be public domain after a few years and you have to have a working prototype to prove you can even do it.

      Exactly. I’m no fan of Google, but I think patents in general should only last as long as needed to recoup the initial investment.

      The same should go for copyright as well.
