Spit-balling here, possibly drivel; feel free to call me out on absurdness.
What about something like a "no software for you" blockade/lawsuit-wedge? Form a little body, have some rules on how someone gets declared a patent troll. Alongside that, have anti-patent-troll companies start including "if declared a PT by so-and-so body, your license to use this software is over" in click-through EULAs. Intended result being: anyone working for patent trolls can't use enough modern software to function effectively, and/or they open themselves up for counter-suit via their use of software without license.
- noonespecial 15y agoI'd be stunned stupid if every copy of windows in whatever little back-office hole in the wall they work out of isn't pirated. They don't give a rip about your software or IP in general beyond gaming the system. If they cheat on the spirit of the law this egregiously, they probably cheat every other damn place as well.
