It's like feeding the troll...in reverse.

Starving the troll. :) Nothing lasts forever. I think this immoral money-making tactic is on its way out.

I doubt it. There's still money to be made shaking people down for IP.

More apt perhaps would be: "curb-stomping the troll, desecrating the remains, and then mailing the whole mess in a bucket to its mother"?
