A good guy is one who argues that "to promote the Progress of Science and
useful Arts" does not include protecting the business models of
corporations whose sole product is litigation. In so far as patents do the
latter, they are unconstitutional.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Imagine a show based on recruiting patent trolls to sue each
other for alleged infringement of software patents.
Unknown to each other, they are coached by the producer with
"information" about the dastardly theft of intellectual
property. Each one thinks, I'm the Good guy.
There's a prize, a shiny medal for service in the public
interest, to the last troll standing.
Only then is the fine print in the contract revealed:
acceptance of the medal constitutes an agreement to
invalidate all patents held by the troll!
