His main idea is that the way software patents are classified now does not make sense. He then suggests that a new class of patents be created just for software with special rules and regulation.

I'm not too sure why his title blames people because in the end he ends up blaming the current laws.

Ok, so software patents as presently litigated are the problem. Thanks.

I thought he was going to blame people for exploiting poorly written laws, in which case I was going to offer to sell him a bridge somewhere.

Also, he talks about how patents of well known things aren't a problem, because current law prohibits that.

EDIT: Of course, I don't agree.

And unironically provides a trivial math equation land-grab by Apple as proof that patents are providing value to society, on the other hand.
