turntable / as the table turns

I’ve always been disgusted by patents, especially software patents. So a while back I was impressed when one tenacious Kiwi decided to take on Amazon.com over their utterly absurd ‘one-click’ patent.

He’s not the first to take up the cause and even Apple has relented to the patent, paying Amazon royalties for using the concept in iTunes.

Now it now looks like he’s won the case.

Hopefully this sets in motion a trend similar to the end of DRM - which has been greatly accelerated, somewhat ironically, thanks to Amazon.
