On the 5th of May no less the reports comes in that yet again politicians and other forms of burocrats have fallen victim to the slaughter of commercial enterprise lobbiests. How sad a day can be. How easily politicians sell out on human (consumer) rights paid for with blood some sixty years or so ago. What's so difficult to just say no to this new addiction called software patents? Can't they see that they are being lobbied into this? For obvious reasons? Who votes for this people anyway? What's the next mantra coming elections? Wir habben das nicht gewust? Poor excuse in my view. There's no excuse for ignorance.
