It's the patent system that fits the 'un-American' bill here, when you get the government to grant you a monopoly on an often straight forward and obvious technique as it's the case for software patents, it's the opposite of free and competitive market.
Completely true - it's funny how so-called "capitalists" are so for the government helping them use force to enforce their "right" to intellectual "property". The whole language of this issues needs to be changed really. How about renaming pro-IPers "idea hoarders" or similar?
