New Republic Calls For Scrapping Patents

OK... just for software, but it is a start...

That’s all assuming we need software patents at all—even appointing a commission to examine whether they could be scrapped entirely would be valuable. You’d encounter opposition from some of the big fish that own them, sure, but you’d also find some powerful friends like Google, which has said they’re “gumming up the works of innovation.” 

The logic is inexorable... get rid of all IPR.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
