The Free Culture Foundation has a petition to ask the W3C to not include DRM in HTML5.
"We call on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and its member organizations to reject the Encrypted Media Extensions proposal (EME), which would incorporate support for Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) into HTML."
I think that it is a mistake to treat patent trolls differently than producing companies which use large patent portfolios to extort companies with smaller patent portfolios. Any legislation curbing trolls should apply equally to all other classes of patent holders.
In the case of software patents the solution to the problem is to abolish software patents all the way across the board. Nobody should be able to patent software.
