Furious judge decries "blizzard" of copyright troll lawsuits

http://j.mp/Kd6iHi  (ars technica)

   "But as the volume of litigation has grown, judges have begun pushing
    back, refusing to approve these dragnet information requests. On
    Tuesday, an obviously angry New York federal judge ruled against
    plaintiffs in several porn copyright trolling cases. His 26-page
    ruling is a devastating critique of this entire litigation strategy."
