it’s not that the fb folks are shameless, they just view the patent system as fundamentally broken so companies are forced to build up a war chest of stupid patents

The patent system was created to protect individuals against greedy corporations, and now it’s doing the exact opposite. After the revolution/apocalypse/aliens/zombies/..., we should only allow individuals to register patents, or just get rid of the whole system altogether.

if that was done all industry research in a lot of fields would completely stop. For example the pharma companies would never research the effects of substances if they didn't get exclusive rights to sell that substance for a period
