Forgive me not linking to it before, but I read tons of these stories and lawsuits trying to help people targeted by Copyright trolls. My memory is chock full of these little balls of fail.

Maximum of $5K eh? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many hours of copyright attorney fees that buys you?
