Backpackers have been doing this for years. Just wrap a couple of feet of duck tape around a pencil or straw and put it in your repair kit. I'm always looking for items that can be used for more than one purpose, but I won't be buying this dude's "invention.
Who or what authority has control over our patent office? Maybe Congress? I don't know, but this crap with patenting the obvious has to end.
The sad thing is that there are a lot of people out there who will buy anything. I've even seen shareware that does the exact same thing your operating system already does. And people buy it! Go figure.
It's been around for years and I've always called it "cookie cutter" music.
No originality, every song sounds just like the last song, and boring as hell.
Somebody takes a recipe, gets the required ingredients, and bakes a shitty song.
The trouble is that a lot of people don't have any taste when it comes to music, and they buy whatever is hyped the most just so they will look "cool" or "with it". No surprise that most dance and pop music falls into this category.
Top 40 means the top 10 songs played 40 times a day. Aaarrrrrrgggghhh!
This is an idea whose time has come. Let the RIAA bitch and moan all they want. The concert goers are not stealing the music. They are buying it with the full knowledge and consent of the very artists who produced it.

No, don't beat the living shit out of them. I suggest a large handgun of suitable caliber; I own a .45. Cause of death - lead poisoning.
There's not a jury in the land that would convict you.

That would be a fun idea,except for one small thing. If somebody pointed something that looked like a gun at me, I'd blow them away with a REAL one.
