I watching the video - its very interesting.
I'm fascinated by the tension and questions that arise around "software as an art" (music analogies) and "software as part of a machine" (industrial process analogies). Both have merit.

Question to Adam & Brad:
If I'm a small, underfunded software company with a software patent on X , isn't filing suite against a large well funded potential infringer still going to be prohibitively expensive?
