Patents were invented to protect innovation, but they are being used as weapons by the evil tech companies and dreaded patent trolls to stifle it. Whether buying up patents to protect against lawsuits, or amassing them in order to sue others, these villains have prioritized profit over creation.

While you’re right, patent regulations have created unnecessary barriers to corporate innovation, I still see a lot of grassroots innovation, not just facebook, but look at how random chat has taken off! I even read a blog encouraging more women to get involved in the sexual exhibitionism: http://lovinglyshared.blogspot.com/2011/10/random-chat.html
And it seems like there are more inventions being pitched on TV. These aren’t groundbreaking creations, but they bring new spheres of potential business and innovation, so I’m not worried about the red-tape.
