The thing about this — here (in this story) is that this kind of stuff is going on with a lot of other companies, too. We’re reading about it here, because we’re interested in Apple stuff, but with all the other companies encountering this kind of stuff and these kinds of awards, it’s amazing that any company can make any money at all — and all the patent trolls and leeches (who actually invent and/or make nothing at all) will go on living off all those other companies paying out all that money.

It is a good thing that Apple is so successful and it’s probably “chump change” to Apple, but there are a lot of other companies where this would be real serious money and that has to affect our economy, overall... and thus affect everyone...

Yes. Paying trolls money to go away sets a bad precedent.
