If you see below, I clarified what I meant, but admittedly just a thought expiriment. However, it would certianly not be dooggooders. It would be a group of self-interested companies colluding to kill patent trolls to protect themselves from future litigation. e.g. if you can't beatem join em. Which if such a strategy were workable, i would hath ideological confliction about anyway. But I guess, I am surprised (or am missing something key) about why this has not been done as they are going against very smart and very well funded companies, it is their business model. Apple could buy the troll suing it hundreds of times over(although assuredly it isn't for sale now) so patent trolling could be limited if they were stopped within the mareket. It is already a risky investment as they must litigate smaller companies to prove the patents as they gain the crediblity to go after larger ones. Small companies are fighting them in court, big companies are fighting them in court, it makes sense that we take the fight to the market, and hurt them financially as well.
