if only it was a joke.. I was seriously asking about what is patentable and what is not. I always thought that it you can prove that it was in use before you filed the patent, then it is no longer patentable. Maybe im wrong on this, but with the situations that were coming up lately, i am just confused.
i download on average about 5 gigs per week. that might seem excessive but i like to download almost every new demo on fileplanet as well as keep a well updated drivers database. (im a technician, what can i say?) besides that and getting various distros of linux on the regular, i use probably more than the average user. but all my uses are legal and justified considering what i purchased the service for. i guess the final determination is how much bandwidth is the upper limit.

is there any way to patent the process of patenting? I think that would solve a lot of this.
