Amazon founder Jeff Bezos calls for governments to end patent wars
People have already been making this mistake: calling out Jeff Bezos over Amazon's one-click patent is a strawman by the name of tu quoque (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque</a>). This is a non-argument. Being a hypocrite doesn't make you less correct.<p>Regardless of past transgressions, Jeff Bezos is right.  Governments and their people need to examine their patent laws (I would argue all IP laws) and figure out what the right amount of protection is necessary given our modern world.
