Interesting to note that nobody seems to care how court systems all over the world are abused by some for reasons still explained badly today.
Even stranger, politicians worldwide seem eager to make such court room abuse much easier by thinking about allowing things like software patents and not ensuring that the punishment is ten times greater then the possible profits gained by mispractise that's found to be illegal by law.
As usual, ignorance comes at a price for most.
In IT details matters. Politicians and decision makers generally try to stay as far away from details as possible. Guess who has the advantage.
