The message was fairly simple. For the defendants, even if they win, they lose
due to the cost of defence. For the trolls, even when they lose, they win by not
bearing much cost of their frivilous case.
The actions of these trolls in spraying letters of demand has many similarities
to the infamous email scams. Even if the trolls never have any intention of
taking a case to court, enough victims will respond and pay up to make it worth
their while. They penalise email scammers, don't they? Why can't the same rules
apply to those sending letters of demand with no good faith belief that each and
every recipient has breached a patent? In no other arena would it be considered
okay to accuse people en masse of doing something just to catch a few who may
actually be guilty.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
