Last night I listened to <i>This American Life</i>'s follow-up on their patent troll piece from two years ago. If you haven't heard the follow-up yet, it's stunning and I highly recommend it. It's so good, in fact, that even though I really want to say what they dug up, I would feel guilty for spoiling it for anyone so I won't.<p><a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/496/when-patents-attack-part-two" rel="nofollow">http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/496/w...</a><p>The new material starts half-way in.<p>I admire the Carbonite CEO who (against all legal and business advice) stubbornly refused to be shaken down, which ultimately led to the breaking of the case. It's just a pity that more such sleazy cases don't get broken this way.
