Is it possible to invest in this lawsuit? Considering how Peter Theil invested in the Hogan lawsuit, perhaps there should be a legal investment concept.

Edit: Well, it appears there is something like this already. "Crowd Justice" https://www.crowdjustice.com/

I would like to see a much broader decision, something

    * applying to all products, not just ag
    * allowing my choice of parts
    * allow me or my choice of shop to work on it
    * no cryptographic DRM'ed parts
    * access to schematics, shop manuals, and admin/interface software

IIRC, investing in lawsuits can also open you up to liability if you lose.
