Political Quotes

“I oppose this substitute, and I will explain why I support the Goodlatte bill, H.R. 3309. This bill has been methodically drafted with abundant openness and clarity. Among other parts of this bill, and there are many, two are extremely important that I see. One is that it protects small business owners, entrepreneurs, young men and women who could lose their business or could lose their idea, young men and women that may even be visiting the Capitol today. I want to explain what a troll does. A troll doesn't primarily go after larger companies. They go after upstarts, they go after young people who are starting to make a profit after years of work. They send them a letter and say, Pay me X amount of dollars, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000, and I won't sue you. If I do sue you, we will go to court and you will probably go bankrupt because it is going to cost you that much. They are suing people based on using a phone, a scanner, and a copier which they purchased. They have no interest in the software; yet they are being sued for that. This is good law. We have to get over the fact that the trolls are really taking advantage here. It is really going to cut the cost of litigation and get owners to the court on time.”
