It is probably worth noting that patents legalize extortion, demanding money with menaces, protection and racketeering: patents give a monopoly that legalizes shakedowns. Interesting that the rest of most legal systems relating to this sort of thing is all about controlling and breaking up monopolies rather than helping to enforce them. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
