Disclaimer - I've lurked here during the many RIAA\MPAA discussions. I wasn't happy with their shotgun approach to legal action, but it wasn't my issue at the time. Now this has arisen, I'm pissed off.
Using legal firms which base their entire search on 'keywords' including author's names is unforgivable. If you're going to mess someone's life up with a civil case, get your facts right. Don't just guess.
The people who initiate these actions don't seem to understand the effect this has on innocent people lives. Do these people actually understand how much stress a false accusation causes? Do they really want to be as abhored within the geek community (which I imagine is a fairly big customer base for these guys) as the RIAA\MPAA?
While I appreciate they feel they have legitimate concerns on some points, I suspect they've hired an 'ambulance chaser'.
