Many of these outfits already have cashflow issue - suing them into the ground when they're already underwater is probably a cash-losing situation for ARIN. And I bet other orgs who are in good financial standing dont want to fund a suit against a judgement-proof org and lose money pushing lawyers around just for fun - not until IPs are worth $10+/IP/month at least, anyway. Then the lawsuits might be worth the investment. Pretty awesome: I see a new industry forming: IP REPO MEN.
