I have no doubt that Microsoft has applied for a patent on breathing, but
we won't be able to find out about it until the grant announcement and then
we'll all get sued for breathing without a license from Microsoft. How
does 1 penny per breath, payable in advance for 80 years of breathing
sound? That $5,045.76 for each child, payable at birth, or you'll be
hearing from the BSA.
Here is a patent they received on Jan 5th, 2007 for being able to click a
button to record a program when a commercial for that program is being
shown. TIVO has been doing that for years.

They are actively stealing everything in sight.

DRM 'manages access' in the same way that jail 'manages freedom.'
