I'm against conceptual patents like these. I feel they are too abstract, monopolize a common functionality/method, and hurt competition. Way to go Todd Moore, even if they settled for $5, fight what you believe in!

A general abstract patent that I can think of in relation is one I researched recently that Comcast filed, patenting online video playlists[0].
