Hopefully this will provide some motivation to other companies that have been faced with similar threats by trolls and have caved. It doesn't take a lot of wins to start turning the tide in our favor.
The trolls will certainly be back after they regroup - and their tactic may shift to coming after increasingly smaller companies that can't afford to go to court in the first place, much less actually stand up a fight. Nonetheless, any movement in the right direction is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Way to go Newegg!
- pyre 13y agoGoing after increasingly smaller companies also means attempting to get increasingly smaller amounts of money from a larger number of defendants. Eventually this will become untenable, at least for larger operations like Alcatel-Lucent, because there is still an overhead of running such an operation.
