Isn't there some famous quote about the best way to reveal the unjustices of a bad law is to enforce it vigorously?

--

I've had this perverse fantasy that some asshole would create a patent troll company that goes around specifically targeting Microsoft, Apple, and IBM's customers vigorously (the companies can protect themselves quite well which is why you would want to go after their customers) with patent threats to make them feel some pain from these shitty laws they keep propping up and extending.

Alas, trolls seem to go after small companies and startups (unrelated to the big guys) and MS, Apple, and IBM get by relatively unscathed.

But that's just me pretending to be tough. That doesn't really seem like a nice way of fixing things.
