Problem was that now that Ayyadurai was armed with that settlement money, and saw that the strategy worked, and he now he had the tools to file more frivolous lawsuits against people who laughed at his claim of inventing e-Mail. One such target was TechDirt, a tech/civil rights blog published by Mike Masnik. I had not met Mike until after all of this, but his blog was very much liked at the EFF and in many other places, and a valuable service and resource for the community.
