In addition, it's apparently infringement to induce or enable others
to infringe a patent.

"Whoever actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as
an infringer. {FN51: 35 U.S.C. §271(b)}," which may have been the
basis of the Steadi-cam incident.

Oh boy, I wouldn't want to have to fight with a bag of lawyers about
what was, or was not, actively inducing others to infringe.

You and me both. Like much of patent law, that provision sure seems to
favor the party with deep pockets.
