Considering he is suing many small companies, who prefer to settle rather than pay for a lawsuit, it's not clear he is doing a net service. A serial litigator has an economy of scale in terms of lawsuits. All but the largest companies can afford to keep lawyers on staff or to hire them regularly.
So as much as I'd like to applaud people who fight spam, I think this guy just found a legal niche to mess with small and legitimate companies. It's like the crippled person going around suing shops for lack of legal amenities (ramps, ramp angles, parking, toilets).
- VengefulCynic 16y agoExcept instead of suing for a lack of legal amenities, he's suing for spamming. Or, to put it differently, he's not suing them for not doing something they should, he's suing them for doing something they shouldn't. It's much more like suing mom-and-pop stores for dumping trash in the back alley.
