In other words, is being small & poor a good defense against trolls? Yes, it is. Try to get bigger though or get a investment round, and troll will come after you. It is not a coincidence that the company in the article's got troll

So we has just established that not only hardware companies are at risk. Good. Now, step two: US trolls will not sue a company doing business outside of US; too much trouble. But any company doing business in US is a subject to local laws,

Right. The troll was just bluffing when he was saying: "You’ll stay in business and license from us, or you’ll go out of business". He's just joking, right? Surely he has neither tools nor intentions to put someone out of bus

> Anybody who wants to sue you must post a $25k USD bond to the Nevis government before even proceeding. Why would they do that? o_O They will file at their local US court. You're free to sell to Nevis all that you want -- but do no
