Turn your heavy ammunition upon Monopolysoft's bank account and patent violations.
Vast sums of money made from the lawsuits can be invested or donated to charitable causes if rightful guilt over leveraging the patent system will keep you from enjoy very much of it.
Anyone want to start up TrollMonopolysoft.org?
or TrollPatentAbusers.org?

OK, seriously, we can develop a theme here. Incorporate it into wallpaper, foss games, etc. Develop the storyline. Do competitions. Build the e-brand in all ways possible.
And also tie it into copyright reform. This should lure in more participants since many more can relate to copyrights issues instead of just (sw) patent issues.
