  1. Patent this method quick! on DVD CCA Applies for Restraining Order · · Score: 1

    This seems to have been done enough times.

    Why doesn't someone patent the technique
    of issuing frivolous lawsuits and injunctions
    as a mathod to restrain free trade and
    exchange of "obvious" encryption or flawed
    encryption techniques.

    The Patent Office seems in the mood to issue
    patents for just about anything these days.

    Wouldn't a self perpetuating palandrome of a
    lawsuit be a wonderful achievement? Just imagine
    we could call it a "lawsuit bomb" and tie up the
    courts for years.. perhaps with luck the legal
    system will collapse under its own weight, or have
    to commit serious "self" impose surgery to excise
    such banal activities and "immunize" itself
    from brain dead measures from unqualified lawyers.

    Wow.. maybe lawyers will be required to pass an
    I.Q. test before taking the bar exam..

    One can dream can't they?
