Story: Patent campaigners make government breakthrough

Mr Simon,
You said that programmers wouldn't recognize real innovation even if it hit them, well then tell me who would recognize inovation? IP campainers, those hit man from the large industries? Sorry but your aruments are fundamentally flawed. I think copyright is the best way to protect software from being copied. Suggest I start building cars that have the look and feel of a more expensive brand Jaguar for example and I bring them to te market as my own. Who would stop me? Those softwarepatents do just threaten innovation instead of helping it, but that's just my opinion and I think I'm not alone in this.
