Re: Patent Trolls going after end users now

said by OZO:

I can assure you that trolling business will not disappear until ...

There are large numbers of low-lifes that like to sail on the legal side of any law knowing full well that they're "untouchable". One can let them do it or

"Drag them out into the street and beat the living shit out of them."

That tends to discourage this kind of behavior.

In the vigilante imagination, perhaps. In reality, you'll be on the wrong side of a lawsuit.

In our modern times you're correct. There was a time when someone on the receiving end would feel shame and slink away. Those times are long gone.

I prefer "change the law" path. Then, when this activity will become illegal, we may call such individuals whatever we want (or they deserve). Until then they are businessmen (activity with purpose of making money) and they do the business legally.

Emotionally I agree with your though...
