> in 2015, the CC organization released the current licenses, Version 4.0, including a “cure provision” that gives people who make attribution mistakes the legal right to a 30-day grace period after notification of the error to make it right.
This cure provision is a good start but doubtful that it's the full patch. I wonder if there is some way to upgrade to a more "barbed-wire" provision that puts these troll firms at greater liability themselves or in some way increases the burden/cost to these automated legal threat extortion farms.
It's kind of sad that the copyright (and now copyleft) trolling is so successful, but the actual enforcement of various companies and projects that very much do violate FOSS licenses is vastly ignored. There are huge companies out there redistributing modified versions of GPL software that fail to ever publish their source code even when contacted for request. Sometimes when they actually do publish the code it's missing significant portions or build tooling to actually make it work - which the GPL is very specific that it MUST be included as part of the source.
