I was just reading on zdnet about how amazon, barnes & noble, expedia, ebay and priceline are being sued or have reached agreement with business idea patent holders, wow.

It seems some guy thought of online auctions a few years ago and was able to patent the process and now he wants ebay to pay up, amazon have already paid their dues and so have many others. I didn`t even know you could patent a business idea.

This really sucks and these guys are vultures, this could mean any business you start could have some dude coming after you saying he thought of it first, wow.

Err hold on a minute I thought of cleaning windows from a ladder first, you have to pay me to do it, madness, this kind of thing just makes my blood boil, and affirms my dislike of the legal proffesion who are always the winners, leaches, leaches, leaches, I hate the sue culture.

I really do think greedy lawyers and their ilke will ruin the western world for everybody else.

PS did you know that studying law is the most prevalent course at Uni in the UK, more leaching lawyers thats all we need, not.
