Perhaps I'm new here, but any chance the title might get 's/Greenspan/Aaron Greenspan/'? I got real confused as to why Alan Greenspan might be suing tech compan

  I had the same reflex.

  I agree, it isn't a person suing corporations, it's a corporation suing corporations. Can we have the title changed to "Think Corp"?

    But, Aaron Greenspan is synonymous with Think Corporation, which he himself emphasizes in his request to press this claim, as a non-lawyer individual, without the usual (by rule) corporate counsel. Greenspan is the 100% owner, the author of this complaint, and the origin of its offbeat legal reasoning. To leave him and his personality out of the headline, and name the artificial corporate persona instead, would hide the real story.

  Done.

    Thanks! (though the unexpected karma flood has ended :) )

  Unfortunately this change didn't help. I thought it said "Alan Greenspan" until I started reading the lawsuit, saw "Think Corp", and went back to re-read the HN headline. I agree with pedalpete, the headline really should just say "Think Corp".

    That would have helped me out a bit... I have no effin' clue who Aaron Greenspan is. Well, except that now I know he's the guy who is suing YC and a bunch of others.

      He's been making the same rants in the comments here for a long time... and he hasn't found many sympathetic to his cause. I can't imagine suing YC (frivolously) will gain many friends.
