I found out recently that a local artist was forced to cease operations because of a copyright troll. I can't imagine they're the only example of a small business getting flattened by this kind of abuse of the law.

They abused the legal system to disrupt the activities of other corporations by simply burning their money via legal fees until the projects they wanted to kill were no longer financially viable. Imagine the power imbalance when one of these multi-billion dollar monopolists go after some random individual for downloading a song or something.
