Should we support them? Hell yeah! They're fighting the good fight.
Should we donate to their fight? Yes, indeed! The way they have chosen is going to be expensive and the outcome may affect us all.
Should we depend on them? Well... why should we? Have we gone fuedal on the net, where we need castlekeepers (read: "kings") to protect us? I think not.
Let IMPA do what IMPA will. Support them in any way you can, they'll need every bit of help through this coming battle and more power to them.
But, in the meantime, can you see how a dozen or so independent webmasters could file Reexamination Applications could turn the tide of battle? Some may draw just a little blood, some more. But the overall effect would be a drain of their resources, weakening them, distracting them...

Perfect ...
Sounds like a project to me ...
Find a slide show where while the first slide was loading - as - the other slides continued to load. This is a form of compression technology. I am certain it existed before the patent.
Somebody - check Gem(?) - which was overtaken by Microsoft for icon based point and click DOS.
We need a few people to dig around in their old 286's and 386's.
Crank them up ... you will get a few ideas.
If I'm correct - J*avascript provided simultaneous loading of graphics which is time compression technology.
When GIF went animated? Are "optimized" GIF images compression technology?
In fact - so did HTML if you did it correctly using pop-ups. ; )
Isn't taking a real 640x480 graphic and resizing it to half that ... then in the HTML CODE - of the page displaying the graphic - FORCE it back to original resolution time compression technology?
If unix was able to send by prompt commands pkzip files to other servers, where the pkzip file was video - is this not video compresssion technology?
There's a few ideas ...
I hope that helps.
