What an awesome effort. However, frivolous suits will still remain especially in places where the burden of proof rests on the defendant. A lot of these suits are filled knowing that they can't win but use the machinery to drain the defendant's resources until they are forced to submit because they have no means to fight it.

If they have no means to fight it, where would the money come to pay it?

Might not be immediate money but could be something like owning the rights to a song. Also "some men just want to watch the world burn"
