It isn't countless procedures, there are standard rules of civil procedure, which are not countless. And they are balanced - if you counter sue for legal costs, you get to play the same game, and you also have actions you can take under the rules of civil procedures to which the trolls must also respond or lose the case.

Also, there is no lawsuit here. This is a letter. The harm of ignoring a letter is simply a matter of risk management. But in short, no suit, no foul.

I have literally said this a dozen times on HN. Learn the law enough to not get bullied.

The point is that the procedures are disproportionately burdensome for one party.

This is self-evident and documented to the point that it's absurd even to be discussing that point. Knowing the law is literally complex enough to warrant its own profession, but even so, the operational aspects of filing legal documents are prohibitively time-consuming for small businesses.
