While I agree that NTP's case is bogus, unhappy Congressmen are the wrong reason for invalidating the patents in question
I'd just like to point out that "unhappy Congressmen" is not the *reason* for "invalidating the patents", rather said Congressmen are instead a force or catalyst. You even stated that "NTP's case is bogus". So said bogusness is the *reason* for patent invalidation.
In this matter, the Congressmen have a point. After all, should we really punish the end user in the name of protecting a technology that doesn't yet have a clear owner? And I use the term "protecting" lightly.
