I think that some of the patents being granted in both the US and the UK now are being granted for ideas that aren't really that amazingly new. Even if Friendster try and enforce this, I don't think Rupert Murdoch (now the owner of Myspace) will let Myspace be undermined. They didn't even do it first, so I doubt this will stand up for very long. This is ridiculous.
