Good on them.
Patent trolls thrive on hoping companies will take the easy route out. It's the same model as ransomware. I don't hold it against people who find themselves in a difficult position and can't afford to fight, but capitulating to these demands encourages trolls to try again. I have a lot of respect for anyone who's willing to go out of their way to make a patent troll regret filing a claim.

Someone should get patent on patent trolling and go nuts suing them all.

Regrettably, "the community" may not have standing to sue, however vile Rothschild may be.

Find a piece of prior art that invalidates their patents claims.
