I know a lot of people are against software patents, but I believe they're appropriate when you've developed something of significant complexity that would be difficult for someone else to make, and the success of your business depends on you being able to sell products using it.

Software patents are evil. There are already other types of protection that is actually better. Like Copyright. It lasts longer too. I guess I would be less against it, if it were not for major companies using patents as war axes. Typically against the little guy.
