The article mentions Mojang and Uniloc suing for the '067 patent.

Mojang are not in the US.

Maybe companies threatened by patents could motivate the public by preventing US citizens from having access to those companies' software for a week, but that's unlikely to happen.

But Mojang doesn't need to care about it. The only reason they do is because it could affect their deals with US payment processors but they can just ignore it if they would like to. Austin Meyer on the other hand has to submit since he's based in the US.
