I enjoy your way of thinking. Except for the guillotines. As far as I can remember, the US Revolution was the successful one, while the French revolution was the bloody massacre. If you want a model, go for the first one.

'Microsoft and Apple are thinking along the same lines when it comes to enabling users to copy music between their wireless devices.

Certain cellphones already allow you to [transfer music] via Bluetooth file transfer, but Microsoft's patented idea would take the concept further, by allowing users to trade MP3s that may have come from file sharing networks to one another, expiring the song on the recipient's device after three plays, unless the user pays Microsoft a fee in order to continue to listen to the track, with a percentage going to the person who provided the song. As the abstract puts it, "even [the] resale of pirated media content [can] benefit... the copyright holder."'

Also, this patent is now being peer reviewed on Peer to Patent's website. Join the discussion there, if you can show how this patent is original and innovative or not."
