I don't see why it matters who funds the lawsuit. While some people are worried about a world where rich people can carry out vendettas, I'm more worried about a situation where wealthy companies and individuals can screw anyone they want as long as they can outlast the victim in court.
I want the Nick Dentons of the world to lie awake at night worrying the people they've ruined might get access to enough money to mount a successful lawsuit.
Having said that, I'll also say the courts should be more willing to award fees to defendants when lawsuits are groundless or mostly so. But that needs to be a determination based on the circumstances of the case and not who funds it.
