Patent is a must for individual inventor. What would an individual inventor would do if the person come up with one of the greatest idea but don't money to support it. Not patenting allow a big company steal the idea and they have a lot of money to make a good product. It just screws the individual inventor.

The U.S. decided to patent software "inventions" because they could not compete with JAPAN.

@QuanSai Marketing sure... I can see that, but look up anything about patent trolling and you'll have your answer. I know the video sounds a bit 'preachy', but... it's on the right track.
Your views will change when something you've wanted to do, or are working towards gets shattered by a wall of legal text and threats... happened to me, you seem like a smart guy though, so I'm sure you'll figure things out :)

If the government objects to monopoly prices for new inventions, it should stop granting patents.

what a biased video.

Passing any code through the CPU and memory of a computer is USING THE DEVICE AS INTENDED. Rearranging the order of the bits running through it doesn't constitute an invention no matter how far you stretch the concept.

GNU is an acronym, not an initialism and is pronounced "guh-new"

That's an ignorant comment.
1) It's not only true for software. It's true for all areas where the products are immaterial
2) Claiming that it's equivalent to pirate music/books completely misunderstands the difference between patents and copyright.
3) "Work around the patents" -... yeah right. I'll see you "work around" patents covering data formats and protocols.

let's assume you're actually a software developer (given your bold statement). How would you guarantee your employer that the code your produce don't violate patents?
