Declaring patent trolls to be terrorists and sending them to Gitmo or someplace like that to be tortured until they confess to whatever we want them to confess to would also work, I suppose. It surprises me the reporter didn't mention that option.

I think the best plan would be to coordinate a concerted defense plan under the EFF. A significant number of donors could create a fund big enough to meet the entire patent troll industry head on. They could compile a list of trolls and their targets. They'd then provide pro-bono council to defendants, utilizing the same effective tactics that get the trolls to back off on every single one of them. Eventually it just wouldn't pay to troll, they'd get so flooded with counter-suits and demands for further information that the entire industry would shut down.

But doing evil that good may come of it is so much more emotionally satisfying, wouldn't you agree?
