Subject: [Patents] Upside article

There's a good article on upside.com about the recent patent situation in
US law, focusing mainly on business-model patents I think.  Some good
background in there that I didn't know about, such as the use of patent
law in the last century to restrict competition.  They don't come to the
same conclusion that we should, ie. that patent law needs reforms to deal
with this stuff, but it's a good article nonetheless.
