Both sides suck here but I have to side with Reddit over patent trolls. Nokia, what a disgrace you are these days if you have to resort to patent trolling. You used to be cool. That said, if this hurts Reddit's IPO then I'll be happy anyways.

Enforcing a patent is not necessarily patent trolling. Is Nokia’s sole purpose to collect patent for things they have no intention or capability to create and sell? That’s the definition of a patent troll. Nokia doesn’t exist solely to collect patents and make their revenue by suing actual business.

We got people out here mad at shit they don’t even understand…

There’s a difference between patent trolling and protecting their patents.

Provided Nokia just won a case, it’s extremely doubtful they would fall into the “troll” catagory.

Why do you think they’ve become a disgrace?

Side with Reddit about what? We don’t even know what the lawsuit is about.
