I have posted in several places a link to a petition that I started about the Balthaser Patent.

I hope you visit the site and sign it.

Thanks!

Update: A patent attorney wrote on his blog:

“The patent does not cover Rich Internet Applications in general, but instead covers rich media hosting websites and content websites where the rich content is added, modified or deleted by individual users within their user accounts.”

So I guess this is a non-issue.
