I think we should use our community to the benefit of enforcement by
being kept in the loop about infringers not playing nicely. It would be
very easy for a large number of us to file suit in our jurisdiction
simultaneously. Even if we didn't prosecute hard, the cost of defending
a 30-50 lawsuits in 20 or more jurisdictions would bankrupt a smallish
business, or at least force them to come clean quickly.
