I have as early as 1990-91 "invented" that audiofiles could be accessed
via an audiofile virtual memory system which handles also the prefetching,
buffer pools, ring buffers etc. both for random access and sequential
access.
Did you publish this idea, or did you use it in a product?
If the answer is yes, it may be possible to defeat the patent.
I'm quite disappointed that you rave against software patents while
you really should make sure we don't _loose our rights_ for "invents"
because patent business later steps on our foots.
I am not sure exactly what you think I shoul do, but it seems that you
want to focus all the concern on one specific situation in which
software patents do harm. I am against ALL software patents,
including that one specific situation, and other situations.
