Copyrighted material is completely different. It's a actual product that was created therefore yes of course it should be protected.

its hard to gain world wide patents it costs a lot of money...so does developing ideas...if you limit patent rights only to people who invested money and time then you hinder creativity for those who are poor but creative...they may not have the funds to develop for the next 10 years, it is not right to limit patents just to the rich...
I do not see patent trolls as hindering progress...there is a 1000 ways to do something...creative people will rise...the non creative will blame patent trolls...
