Yet another reason to overhaul the patent system in this country.

Patent-troll Lodsys is threatening to sue small iOS developers over in-App purchasing. All this company does license the patents it holds (bought) and extorts them over the little guys. I picture a couple of guys in shark skin suits; extortion (injunction) letters in one hand, clubs in the other, knocking on the doors of these small-time developers.

Their website is proof that these guys aren't legit; it looks like a domain placeholder. Shameful.
