BitPass, the micropayments system, has signed on iStockphoto.com and bitpass.PatentFetcher.com. The former allows folks to purchase for $1 any stock photo from a library of about 70,000 images. The latter site allows folks to purchase and immediately receive the PDF of almost any of over 5 million US patents for $1 (versus $3 and 2 days at the US Patent and Trademark office).
