> However, in at least a few cases, Boladian assigned the copyrights to Bridgeport by writing a contract and then faking Clinton's signature (as described here).

If that is what happened, couldn't Clinton sue Boladian and Bridgeport for signature forgery? Otherwise, what would stop someone from faking Boladian's signature on an agreement to transfer ownership to another entity?

I wish more would have been written about that aspect too. If "sample trolls" are as big a nuisance as the article made them out to be it would have made sense for the labels to bring out the big legal guns.
