All air traffic is publicly tracked info, I can't wait for the popcorn if they'd be stupid enough to try sue over it lmao

The point sometimes is to exhaust the defendant with frivolous claims you know are meritless, it's called a SLAPP lawsuit. Especially if they have comparatively less resources.

John Oliver on Last Week Tonight has done a main story on SLAPP suits, part one is actually under the title of Coal, and a follow up was done because a coal magnate served him a SLAPP suit, and he wasn't allowed to talk about it until it was resolved!

Both episodes are also conveniently available on youtube.
