However, one thing that is rarely reported, and I'd like to know, is how much the defendants in this case had to spend on lawyers to get these trolls to go away. If they had to spend a lot of money, and didn't recover it, that's a loss. Plus, how much time loss and personal stress/unhappiness did this lawsuit cost them?
If a court system drags you through the dirt and bleeds you dry to get a ruling that most people would agree is common sense, well, that's better than a bad ruling, but it's still a kind of fail.
