Actually there are lots of copyright trolls, especially in the cases where the content is cheap to make (as in time invested) and cheap to distribute -- like news articles, music or photography.

Say you've got a popular photo, you can transfer the litigious rights of it to a copyright troll and that troll will then sue everyone using it.

Kind of like what RIAA is doing.
