The replacement and repair vessels would have equipment for repair, they aren't the main target for the pirates. Wealthy yachts, cruise ships, merchant vessels and anyone else that has copious amounts of booty are more likely to be boarded! They got almost 3Million for the oil tanker. Bigger fish in the sea!

Patent Trolls Target Small East Texas Companies 281

Posted by kdawson from the patently-absurd dept.
An anonymous reader writes "In a sign that patent trolls are getting desperate to keep their cases in East Texas — long known as the friendliest venue for their claims — some have taken to suing tiny, no-name companies that are run by East Texas residents. The hope is that, if at least one defendant is located in East Texas, the judge will keep the entire case there. Nate Neel, a Longview, Texas resident with a small open source software company called CitiWare, was sued by Bedrock Computer Technologies in June despite (he claims) having no customers or other meaningful operations of any kind. In response, Mr. Neel has posted a strongly worded letter to Bedrock's attorneys on his Web site. It will be interesting to see how East Texas judges respond to this abuse of process perpetrated against their own residents."
