UN Wades Into Patent War Mess
Rambo Tribble writes "The BBC is reporting that the worldwide, tangled mess of IP litigation has come to the attention of the UN's International Telecommunication Union. The agency has announced it will be holding talks aimed at reducing this massive drag on the digital economy. Good luck."
Yes, it is. Article II, Section 2, clause 2. Perhaps you should read the Constitution sometime. Or are there too many big words in it for you?

Treaties? Treaties are not laws of the land, they do not supersede the laws of the land.
UN CANNOT tell USA to go to war, only Congress has the power to declare war. Of-course that would be Constitutional, what happens today is not.
You can't handle the truth.
This whole patent mess reminds me of the animation movie "Finding Nemo". Somewhere a flock of seagulls attacks, mindlessly screaming "Mine! Mine! Mine!"
This is what the industry is like today. Lawyer driven madness, where everyone is trying to put a claim on any thought that might be remotely original. It is a huge drag on innovation and leads to destruction. I can only hope the ITU will be able to put up a sail between these gullible seagulls and real innovation. Just like in the movie.

Oh, and by the way telling somebody:
I really hope that you ... get sick
just proves my point about the people (also the so called 'liberals') and that they shouldn't be allowed to vote in most cases.
You can't handle the truth.
