I'm not a lawyer, so I really have no clue if this is accurate AT ALL, but.. is amazon the only one who can impose the patent infringement claim or can the inventors also? I also ask because, if they are the people who invented it, and they can, it seems they have gone off and started a photo/imaging company... that's a little troubling no?

But yes, I do agree it's bad practice.
