NYT had a nice profile of one of the lawyers a few years ago [1]. It had this quote from Sam Altman:
>Asked to sum up the tech community’s feelings about Mr. Edelson, Sam Altman, president of Y Combinator, a technology incubator that invests in very young companies, said the lawyer was regarded as “a leech tarted up as a freedom fighter.”
He's the American Max Schrems.
