[Fsfe-ie] Pro-patents sites

[Ian Clarke]

Campaign for Creativity is run by Simon Gentry, a PR professional who 
works as a hired-gun outfit for corporate lobby groups (previously he 
successfully lobbied for the extremist "Life Patent" Directive which is 
causing all sorts of problems).  C4C is a front for corporate interests 
masquerading as a grass-roots organisation.

I'm not sure about patents4innovation, but I suspect it is similar.
