There was an intersting link on Slashdot about how a company is now controlling how
long you can legally read a book. The article also included this intersting paper by Richard Stallman about a future where
stuff like this is commonplace.
And if that isn't enough idiocacy for one day, up comes someone who is trying to patent international e-commerce. How messed up
is that? Our patent office must be smoking some kind of crack to allow something like that to become a patent. Of
course, this is the same department that lets Amazon.com patent "One-Click" shopping and affilate programs (which is why
I boycott Amazon.com whenever possible).
