How revealing.

I bet you think it's "brilliant" that a group of attorneys can buy up IT patents, then turn right around and sue small IT companies for patent infringement, knowing they are

A) innocent

B) don't have the req'd $1M+ on hand for legal fees to successfully defend themselves in court

C) cannot counter-sue because of patent law

but

D) do have the $200K or so to settle out of court (which is what they are being "sued" for in the first place).

It's actually legal blackmail. And after they hit up Co. A, they go on to Co. B. Rinse, repeat. All the way to millions and millions.

People like you have the exact same kind of mentality I'm talking about. They think it's "brilliant" too, because it's "legal" and they can get away with it. But it is a henious, vile, and very harmful practice on society at large.
