Comment on A ridiculous patent for arbitrary compression

Comments

If I treat the file as one big integer and each pass through my compression simply decrements by one, eventually ill achieve one bit or zero bits depending on how you look at it.

Uncompressing simply requires knowing how many compression steps I took. :)
