That isn't a slight against them. That is just business and since no one else is paying for all those filings you can't blame them at all for acting in self interest of the company.

Putting together a group and dealing with it is certainly an option, but talking it out and dealing with it b2b and resolving it without throwing money at an army of $500 hr attorneys is another option too.
