Every day there's another reason to feel good about my recurring donations to the EFF and ACLU. I highly recommend the investment.

And for people who order a higher-than-normal volume of stuff from Amazon, you can completely painlessly make small donations to the EFF without spending any money by making your purchases through https://smile.amazon.com/ and updating your selected charity (hover on the "Your Account" menu, then click on "Change Your Charity").

.5% of your purchase will go to the selected charity without adding any additional charges or fees to your purchases.

As long as the ROI is good for patent trolling, people will do it. As long as the ROI is good for SLAPP suits, people will do it. It's fun to make fun of the individuals filing these stupid suits and patents, but reform of the incentives is what's needed.
