Why don't the world courts just stamp out these slimy scumbag trolls???

It seems they only add extra unnecessary costs to the consumer.

More on the latest one affecting Apple:

Patent trolls aren't breaking the law, they are using it to make a lot of money. You want to get rid of them, get rid of the entire patent system, not sure Apple would be behind that given how many patents they file and receive each year.

And, there is no way Apple is going to leave the UK market. According to stats, the Apple on line store alone in the UK creates jobs. (around 300,000) Just imagine how much $$ Apple makes from its UK sales.

The £5 billion that Apple may have to pay is pocket change for them.

Besides, look at all those $ and £ that Lockheed Martin has made off the UK sales of the F-35 advanced fighter and compare that to what Apple has made. o_O;)
