Posted my comment. It basically says that the First Amendment is violated by thse patent rules (because people have a right to challenge invalid or overreaching patents).

I'm surprised that the Reddit admins haven't realized that digital piracy isn't stealing/theft, because no one is being deprived of anything. The files are being copied, not moved, and the original is still in the hands of the publisher. AFAIK, the only form of digital theft would be to delete/move files from a remote server/PC, hacked or not.
