First of all I think patents has a need. But, only where big money was invested for the development in the new device/concept etc. But for all the other crap it is just a waste of time. As you stated someone clearly want to make money out of other people's work. (We have to stop this !) For a long time the development of technological innovation was controlled by money (business people) this has to stop. Some technological endeavors are not financially viable but might someday be beneficial the all human kind. In essence what I am getting at is the control of technological advance of the human-race by financially motivated reasons and not the greater good of the human race. (Yes the STARTREK philosophy.) We need more people like JFK to just part with the money and do the cool stuff. (Bill are you up to it ?) Hell I cannot wait fifty years to go to MARS or have kickass electrical cars, breath clean air... That is what I am getting at.
