Silly Patents
This post is a bit far from P2P. But absurdity knows few bounds. I ran across this silliness at eMoms At Home of all places - Friendster Patents Social Networking. As if Friendster was the first social network and there is no prior art.

A Red Herring article posts a quote that reminds one why lawyers are so loved (and why media who print them are as well). "Once the patent is issued there is a presumption of validity that follows with it," said attorney Bill Heinze of thomaslinks, Kayden, Horstemeyer & Risley. Bill, the only presumption is that attorneys will get rich trying to litigate this fluff.
