Podcasting patent troll: We tried to drop lawsuit against Adam Carolla

01 Aug 2014 • arstechnica.com

In a statement released today, Personal Audio says that Carolla, who has raised more than $450,000 from fans to fight the case, is wasting their money on an unnecessary lawsuit. The company, which is a “patent troll” with no business other than lawsuits, has said Carolla just doesn’t care since his fans are paying his lawyers’ bills.

So when things took a turn and it looks like you would lose the case - now you’re going to cry about it like a little baby? Personal Audio, you suck.

In response, Carolla sent Ars a statement saying he’ll continue to pursue counterclaims against Personal Audio, seeking to invalidate the patent “so that Personal Audio cannot sue other podcasters for infringement of US Patent 8,112,504.”

Exactly. The work here isn’t done until we put Personal Audio in the ground and make sure they don’t sue smaller outfits in the future.
