    Interesting video. I had no idea there was such a thing as a patent troll.

    Maybe we should lock all the patent trolls up with all the spammers and let them rot. Useless leeches.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      Problem is they wouldn't rot. They would just breed .

      You're kidding, RIGHT? Ths is one f my pet peeves. Remember the time that Black berry was nearly shut down? How about the Linux thing.

      AMAZON.COM BUILT THEIR COMPANY on this! And YOU thought it was BOOKS! NOPE! They almost went BANKRUPT selling books. They had a worthless patent that they used to take over part of Barnes and nobles business. That led to a platform used to practically take over part of toys r us, and NOW, they are a business PLATFORM!

      Things like this happen ALL THE TIME!

    Interesting video. I like the way that guy thinks. I think we need to remember that for a lot of things going on nowdays - "Do not negotiate with terrorists." Love it.
