Story: BSA figures do not add up

Well done. This is what I call proper journalism. Not just regurgitating press releases, but a proper analysis and dissection of what is clearly at best a lazy, and at worst, a deliberately disingenuous, report.
I've talked to maybe 50 SMEs about software patents and found 3 in favour and a couple that didnt care much one way or the other. One of the ones in favour was an IP law firm. In the other two, the engineers were almost entirely anti-swpat, but the bosses liked the idea. That's probably typical - 6% pro, 4% don't care and 90% against.
OK - that's even less rigorous than the study in question, but then I'm memrly publishing it as my experience to see if others have found the same thing.
