If most pirates are the kind who sail around drinking rum and chasing booty, patent trolls are the kind of pirates who blow a big hole in the side of a supertanker to steal a few barrels of oil and let the rest drain into the ocean.

And then say that they fight against pirate because prevented other pirate from access to oil.

In a Trump-lead administration and Ajit Pai heading FCC, this totally would've been passed by now. I don't like how this is on the table at all and how the decision could go either way. But I'll take that trade off than it for it to be guaranteed.

But, one bill (PERA) is from a Republican. The other bill (PREVAIL) is from a Democrat. So, this is a bipartisan effort to fuck over everyone here.
