Disbarring is not enough. Prison time for racketeering is proper.
- dudeinjapan 3y agoPrison is not enough. Patent trolls should be thrown into the deepest flaming pit of hell.
- asah 3y agoSorry, flaming pits are patented. Can I offer you lava?
- reactordev 3y agoLava is patented as well, can I offer you magma?
- brookst 3y agoMy client has patented all forms of magma production that involve heat or pressure. Can I offer you lukewarm water?
- stove 3y agoMy client Luke is suing for defamation
- diego_sandoval 3y agoLuke Skywalker is a copyrighted character. My client, The Walt Disney Company, is suing your client, Luke, for copyright infringement.
- rprwhite 3y agoMy client, the sky, is suing your client for copyright infringement. Additionally my client is suing GGP’s client for the offer of water, in which my client believes they have a valid interest but were not given due consideration in the making of this offer.
- tombert 3y agoThe sky is in violation of my client Sky Media's trademark. We demand that you immediately cease and desist using the term "sky" and all related vernacular.
- reactordev 3y agoThanks for all of these! It perfectly sums up the tar pit that is patents (trademarks and reservations) and copyrights. A couple made me laugh pretty good. Where there’s an interest, there’s 10 in the wing ready to pounce.
- asah 3y agosorry tarpits are patented, can you work with hairballs ?
- brookst 3y agoSorry hairballs are on exclusive license to Oracle. Can you make do with hair shirts?
- reactordev 3y agoHahahaha hair shirt! Punish the non-believers!
- porksoda 3y agoMaybe he's a bad guy, but prison is worse than you think, and probably doesn't fit the crime here. Imnsho.
- MBCook 3y agoHe wasted a fantastic amount of the court’s time and various people’s time and money which they never got back. He clearly knew what he was doing was wrong. Why shouldn’t there be some criminal statute to punish him? Nothing here fixes any of the harm he’s caused. It just (hopefully) prevents him from doing it in the future. Though based on how he got here I’m guessing he’ll find a new way.
- lmm 3y ago> He wasted a fantastic amount of the court’s time and various people’s time and money which they never got back. Virtually every crime costs other people time and money. We generally draw a line between that and more severe varieties of crime, such as those involving physical violence.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoFraud and extortion are both criminal offenses that can carry prison terms without committing any act of violence.
- mgkimsal 3y agoAnd once you get to prison, there definitely will be physical violence.
- shmerl 3y agoWhat do you think the punishment for protection racket and extortion should be? Patent trolling is exactly that, except masking under the legal system.
