Protection
from the racket dept
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re:
Pay the "good" lawyers to protect you from the "bad" lawyers.
(Yes, I know there are some genuine good lawyers out there, but at some points you have to wonder if even they are being caught up in the system.)

I am not defending these lawsuits, but we need to spread the blame around

Lawyers? Or laws?
Our society has so many laws and regulations the only way to comply with them or defend yourself from them is to get a lawyer. Tell me why our lives can't be just a little bit simpler.
Vote libertarian.

The laws are created and enacted by Government representing the YOU.
Most lawyers I know (including myself though I do not practice) are annoyed with laws that have been enacted in the last 15yrs or so mainly because they are ambiguous, inequitable, and extremely vague.
As an AC said above, a lawyer has a professional and ethical DUTY to inform a client of the current laws, though the lawyer also must inform a client of any ramifications that could occur too, as well as the lawyers DUTY to the court for such things as frivolous or vexatious suits.
That being said.. I did actually Laugh and do agree to an extent with Nina's cartoon.
