The Amazon One-Click Patent

I don't need to write about this infamous patent, because enough has already been said about it. After all, whenever anyone brings up software patents, this is the first one mentioned to show the outrage (!) at allowing these types of patents.

However, in my random Internet searchings this evening, I discovered that Tim O'Reilly's web site offers a nice archive of history (and controversy), including interviews with Jeff Bezos, of this Amaz(ing) patent.

This is an issue I struggle with. Are you aware of anywhere I could read some counter arguments to O'Reilly's position?

I'll see what I can find! Most of the articles I've come across are against software patents.
