DocG··on Wi-Fi patent troll hit with racketeering suit emerges unscathed
Then he can't ask for 50 mil. If you are poor(as living on the streets), chances are you are not going to court anyway.

I doubt that person can go against big corporation without money(good lawyers cost). And when one can afford good lawyer who has real chance of winning, then the person usually has also money for paying.

This is only when there is claim or civil suit. You can still go to police if there has been a crime of some sort. Also you can always file complaint to government. So no, this is not so unequal as it sounds.

In case, one is sure of its winning, he or she can always take loan from the bank. It just keeps nonsense cases away.

In my country, if I remember correctly, you need to pay 5% up front to court for the money you want. Meaning If I want to sue McDonalds for 1 mil, I have to pay 5k. This keeps away nonsense cases. If I lose, court keeps money. If I win, I can add this sum to the total amount.

This keeps cases real and amounts realistic.

DocG··on About Not Owning Sh*t
I do have similar goal after I traveled around Europe with only clothes and laptop. I traveled with Interail for 15 days straight. It was pretty life changing. Before I wanted too much.

I want to travel all around the world. I have goal to work on the go, through internet and own things only that fit into hand luggage. Probably laptop, some clothes, sketchbook.

Although, I am going to miss my books, I think I have to store them at my parents house probably.

What I have found is that people who have traveled without knowing or caring where they end up and without too much things, only they understand why it is so freeing.

For normal 8 to 5 person, it is usually very hard to get him to travel(not meaning vacation) and even harder to get him leave all the "shit" at home.

bad english is bad.
