Craig Hockenberry on the proliferation of lawsuits against independent mobile application developers:

From our experience, it’s entirely possible that all the revenue for a product can be eaten up by legal fees. After years of pouring your heart and soul into that product, it’s devastating. It makes you question why the hell you’re in the business: when you can’t pay salaries from product sales, there’s no point in building it in the first place.

It’s something Apple needs to address as soon as possible and it’s a perfect example of why software patents are a terrible idea.
