I see you are getting downvoted a bit, but I think this is a legit point to debate. Whether or not the bottom line is clear cut, I would say a few things: These lawyers are probably on retainer, and while they could be doing other things. This clearly gets them SOME amount of positive press, and certainly helps their bottom line if you believe that some future trolls will not attempt to sure them. It may also invalidate some laws that hurt their business and innovation which then allows them to potentially develop new products. Lastly, I would definitely argue it helps us a society, and corporations LOVE to buff their image with some hero bullshit story. Before these story, what did you know newegg for? Selling cheap hardware? What is their new image? Champion of the internet. (and their lawyer is a godamn bawse.) I don't know if you could buy this kind of press.
