I find it a bit worrying when companies can get broad, sweeping patents for stuff like this. It was meant to protect original ideas. It wasn't done on 1 April was it?

Comment quote one:

I'd post a facepalm.jpg, but after so many stories of patent abuse it's no longer worth the effort.

It's a good thing you didn't, because you'd run afoul of my newly-granted patent on using media stills to express emotion.

End of thread...

From what I read, it was more about protecting Amazon from any similar patents filed by anybody else. They don't give two hoots about our product shots.

I covered that a long time ago. A few well respected people in this forum will be receiving their bills in the near future.
