Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Prior art abounds
For example, a macintosh with a midi sequencing program and a midi based sampler pretty well matches the description of their "invention". I was using such a thing in 1988. Juke boxes that display multiple information about playing songs also fit the description, so for instance my 1945 Wurlitzer (which shows artist, label, and author on each disk, along with disk number on the platter that rotates out to show current selection) also pretty well matches.

The "patent" is bollocks.

New fair enough, as bolloxed as the "shopping cart" :-)

New You can't blame the player for the game's rules
If Amazon had their way, that patent would have expired by now (as would the music thingy).

[link|http://news.com.com/Amazon+CEO+sees+solutions+in+patent+reform/2100-1017_3-237801.html|http://news.com.com/...017_3-237801.html]

In his letter, Bezos called for software and business-method patents to be limited from the current 17 years to three to five years. He also called for the limitation to be retroactive so that current patents would be enforceable for only three to five years.

In addition to the time limit on patents, Bezos proposed a public comment period before a patent is issued to allow Net users the chance to show previous examples of the potential patent.

"If done right, we'll end up with a patent system that produces fewer patents, fewer bad patents and even the good patents won't last longer than is necessary to give the innovator a reasonable return," Bezos wrote.

Bezos said in his letter he had been influenced by "several hundred" letters sent to Amazon about the issue and by O'Reilly's column.
