Thats right Amazon owns the patent to shoot a subject against a white backdrop. I may be getting a demand letter from them!

Our Patent Office is broken beyond belief. Remember when Microsoft unsuccessfully tried to patent the word Windows?

Hay, for little or no $ we can get a copy of the patent, much cheaper than buying a book and it is all detailed. Not that I would ever consider using the techniques !? But you might. :evil: :evil: :roll:

The original intent of the US Patent Office was not property rights... It was to share technology and methodology.
