Don't forget the greatest enemy of both abusive companies and abusive government: the news media. And this definitely seems big enough for them.
See if you can "shop" around (start local) to see who's interested in publishing a story something along the lines of "The EU has declared war on small businesses. I'm being forced to pay thousands of euros because a brand-new company decided they wanted to steal my years-old project name."

- terminalshort 1y agoThe news media is abusive companies. Some of the worst. And they are one of the largest beneficiaries and supporters of abusive government, like how they are attempting (and sometimes succeeding) at getting governments to shake down companies who link to their sites. That's not to say they aren't sometimes the enemy of other abusive companies or governments, but that's purely incidental and transactional in cases where it goes against them.
