Patents violating my Free Speech??
Here's a topic to chat about:
I can type a message like this one, and it's free speech.
I can get on a radio program and what i say is covered as free speech.
I can get on TV and talk about issues, and it is covered as free speech.
I can record my message and burn it on a CD, and it is covered as free speech.
But, if digitize my message to put on a website, I am violating someone's patented claim?!?! Doesn't this prevent my free speech?
I already paid for software and hardware that enables the recording of my message.
Why do I need to pay some company a patent licensing fee just to be able to have audio on my website???
