to find someone to front the money for a lawsuit?
That is one of the problems, he who fronts the money expects to get the reward. Hence class actions where the lawyer who works on contingency gets millions and those wronged get a nickle.

1. You'll still get a significant sum if the total is significant (and if the case is open-and-shut, the risk wouldn't be too high for an investor, so you could get a favorable deal)
2. The infringing company would have to pay in full, which discourages them from doing it in the first place.
I guess I really want to know is if this actually happens in practice, or if there are reasons I'm not thinking of that stop it from happening.
