With the talk of the mega-lawsuits nowadays, having a successful patent seems
impossible unless you have tons of money and an army of weasels in pin-striped
suits to defend it.  How can the small-time entrepeneur hope to achieve success
if some enormous conglomerate sics its lawyer-force on him and takes his
marvelous invention away? 

It's depressing to think about.
