Story: Software patent protest to block Web sites

Patents are becoming the domain name land grab in large companies such as the one I currently work for.
If it's patentable, they patent it. Why? It's not as if they are going to do anything whatsoever with most of the patents they take out.
At the very least, if the patent does nothing but sit on the shelf for 5 years then it should be rescinded and moved into the public domain.
