The rise of copyright trolls

The rise of copyright trolls

Parent article: The rise of copyright trolls

Since there are a few other subscribers throwing their opinion into the ring on the coverage, I'll throw mine.. the article did make me feel a little uneasy - even before finishing, I started wondering how much the Linux Foundation had to do with the panel (but not the reporting). Prolly not much, really, in the end.

After refreshing my memory with the linked articles, and browsing through the comments - my only complaint is the overly-dramatic title.

It was not an article about "the rise of copyright trolls". It was an article about lawyers who oppose the actions of McHardy, who may very well be a copyright troll. If we suppose McHardy is one ( I'm not sure - my personal opinion is that the actions are selfish, and indicative of a not-nice values, but not really equivalent to the problems posed by patent trolls), then a more accurate (though still too dramatic for my taste) title would be "Exposing a copyright troll"
