Kleiner Perkins has taken pains to distance itself from Mr Perkins' words:

"Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB in years. We were shocked by his views expressed today in the WSJ and do not agree."

Mike Godwin posted a while back that he was going to charge $5/violation. How big a bill should Mr Perkins get?

"Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB in years."

To quote from KPCB's own linking page to the above:

By continuing their relationship with KPCB long after leaving, they bring our portfolio companies the benefit of decades of deep experience.
