Frivolous lawsuits, maybe, but frankly that’s irrelevant to the discussion at hand, which is the legislative liability of running a website. I’ve never heard anything even close to what the GP describes happening in any other country.

Software patents are a construct of the legislature that hands out a template for privateers to create liability. I wouldn't want to do anything in the US market.
