Fantastic news. The shake-down artists in the legal profession will go into mourning.

If you think that's fantastic, just imagine what it would be like if we followed the Constitution.
The authority for patent- and copyright-law is given in Art 1, Sec 8, with this clause: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

All that one has to do from there is realize that a corporation, being a separate and distinct legal entity, cannot be an author or inventor but, at most, must commission actual authors/inventors for their work.

Yeah, imagine the impact that would have.
