Well, I don't know what to say, I think we have basic ideological differences. I think every situation is unique and needs to be judged in full context, you seem to have a more rigid moral code. If that act actually moved the needle on cancer knowledge, I might support it.

This particular situation appeals to my romantic and absurdist philosophies, it's ballsy and interesting if nothing else.

In my opinion, it damages the arguments against such abuses of the patent system. A public outpouring of support for this case makes it seem like there's a double standard: that people oppose it in the typical context because of a general bias against large corporations, rather than a problem with patent trolling itself.

Well sure. I doubt Kim lobbied for software patents.

I oppose the use of land-mines in general but I support their placement in the boardrooms of corporations that manufacture them. Because heartless execs are nothing like innocent children. Context matters.
