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???

I haven't looked into those issues, but claiming downloading of audio/video is so much broader and more impact in scope than a chat bot. i am sure some prior art could be dug up if you really looked. i was using some Visual Basic code that i found for making an AIM bot.. just about the time when activebuddy.com came online.. i wouldn't be prior art, but whoever made the base code could be , plus other coders could say they did it first (if publicized).
