That kind of reminds me of people that short stock. Nearly everyone hates them, but they do provide a check on companies that are doing something bad.


Except it doesn't apply to patent trolls at all. They don't go after big companies, they mostly go after small ones that they don't expect to fight back, and they mostly use broad and vague patents that shouldn't even have been issued. That's what makes them patent trolls, they're patents are BS.


Yeah, it's not a perfect analogy, just an interesting thought.
