Sable was on the hook for costs after losing. I imagine this settlement was a fraction of what they owed. If there is truly justice in this world, Sable principals will have to go out of pocket for tax liabilities and costs associated with shutting it down.
- ozim 2y agoSo it was not justice - just predatory capitalism finding out that there is always a bigger fish. Cloudflare wasn’t doing that from goodness of their heart, they were protecting their own profits.

- SllX 2y agoBeating a patent troll in court is predatory capitalism? I think you’re forgetting Sable was the aggressor (aka the Plaintiff), and they lost their suit in a court of law. Nobody is obligated to roll over and show their bellies if they can win against an unjust lawsuit.
- floydnoel 2y agopatents are granted by the government. hardly seems like a problem with capitalism.
- account42 2y agoNewsflash: Property rights (including imaginary property i.e. artificial monopolies) are all granted and enforced by the government. As is currency.
- lazide 2y agoBwahaha, seriously? Next you’ll be calling someone shooting a burglar ‘predatory capitalism’ because hey, a house is capital and they were protecting it! And they totally could have let the burglar with a gun leave peacefully, or something.
