Fuck &quot;Personal Audio&quot;.<p>Go Adam. The world needs more people to stand up to bullshit like this. (sorry for the language in this post, this sort of stuff infuriates me).

Aren&#x27;t the details from the discovery process private? Can one party in a lawsuit use information gleaned during discovery as part of its PR efforts?<p>From a press release from the patent troll:<p>&quot;When Personal Audio first began its litigation, it was under the impression that Carolla, the self-proclaimed largest podcaster in the world, as well as certain other podcasters, were making significant money from infringing Personal Audio’s patents. After the parties completed discovery, however, it became clear this was not the case. As a result, Personal Audio began to offer dismissals from the case to the podcasting companies involved, rather than to litigate over the smaller amounts of money at issue.&quot;<p><a href="http://personalaudio.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Carolla-DIsmissal_7-29-2014.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;personalaudio.net&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;Carolla-...</a>

People can donate to his legal defense fund at <a href="https://fundanything.com/patenttroll?locale=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fundanything.com&#x2F;patenttroll?locale=en</a> - it has already raised nearly $500k!

Good for Adam. These patent trolls are reprehensible. It&#x27;s hilarious that they want to pull out now that they stand a chance of losing.

The publicity Adam Carolla gets from this case is likely worth more than the legal fees from keeping the case going.
