You know what's going to happen though, right? It means that they'll only make movies that are at least 25 years old, and they'll studiously avoid any innovations because that might leave them open to lawsuits.
Movies will be like Microsoft products.

This is a brilliant idea. If movie plots are patented, then filmmakers will have to start coming up with new ones. That would be nice.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
