It seems that Mr Gentry cannot read the first comment on this article which was about the threat of DTS corp on a free software project called Videolan to remove their support for DTS audio decoding because they were in violation of their EPO patents.

"The IT sector is thriving. Even Open Source is thriving in
the current regime.Those who want to abolish patentability for CI inventions, need to prove that the current system is not working. After five years they have failed to do that. Restarting the debate will not alter that fact."

So maybe you can comment on that fact, Mr Gentry?
