something I wonder, and I think some people touched on this in the past, is freedom of speech issues.

For example, what if someone patented the process of taking an ink filled pen and writing on paper, or the process of using print to publish a newspaper.

That may sound a bit silly but its similar. Video streaming has been around several years and is a widely used communication technology used on a big percentage of the sites on the net.

Imagine if a company wanted a percentage of money for every paper printed or book printed.

Bring in the ACLU
