First of all, the planet can only support the amount it does today due to oil. Since that's about to reach a peak in production I doubt your argument can hold true. Petroleum based agricultural products has allowed from the increase in crop production. World fisheries are on the verge of collapsing due to over fishing. If you think the Earth was meant to support such a large population you are grossly mistaken.
My thoughts exactly, the fact the so many bad patents have been allowed since the ruling shows that something should be done. But disallowing all software or business model patents would allow room for some large companies to tighten their grip on the technological world and the internet in general.
I can see the issue with "business model" patents but what is wrong with software patents? Is there something I missed as to what type of software patents are allowed?
