Thought this story may interest/worry a few of the devs here.
I've been campaigning against EU directives for the patenting of
"computer implemented inventions" for some time and was involved in a
DTI meeting recently and will hopefully be involved in a working group
in the not too distant future.
"The satellite group BSkyB has patented new technology that allows
television viewers to record favourite programmes without any ad breaks."
