I didn't see a link to donate. Wouldn't it be better for the FSF to create a generic fund that agressively went after these trolls? I'd give a couple hundred dollars a year.

I'd donate at least a couple hundred a year if the FSF/EFF did this exactly.

EFF is involved in this https://www.eff.org/patent-busting Feel free to donate :)

Nifty, thanks! Emailed to see if there's a way to earmark my donation for this cause (since it'd be separate from a general donation).

Ditto.

No, that only treats the symptoms. It would be much better to cure the disease -- the broken patent system.

And while we wait for that to happen? In the meantime, something else needs to be done while we're waiting for Godot.

With limited resources, we're better off investing in a wholesale overhaul of the patent system, compared to fighting one patent troll after another. The reason? After we've spent millions fighting patent trolls, we will face a new generation of trolls who have learned valuable lessons from the methods we used in the past.
