- tomc1985 10y agoIf 'protect revenue loss' is an oblique way of justifying outright theft, then sure. These snakes are aggressive as hell. They monitor domain registrations and email-bomb anyone in DNS records. Their spam gets through filters and they'll call you up to sell you certs. Fuck them.
- egeozcan 10y agoIt looks like they have nothing left to lose. Acting in bad faith so openly lowers them to the levels of patent-trolls. I can't think of any company which respects its public image doing any new business with them after this news.
- vonklaus 10y ago> Acting in bad faith so openly lowers them to the levels of patent-trolls. You seem to imply there was a time in recent memory where comodo itself was at a level above patent trolls. At a high level, patent trolling is associated with rent collection behaviour and using coercion to profit. I see this as comodo's core business, so I guess I am just quibbling about timeframe.
