There's a ton of content out on the web about this topic. I found one that sums it up pretty well:
"Why People Hate Lawyers". My favorite part, near the end:
But if Monster Cable is really concerned about protecting its trademark, it could start by protecting it from a consumer backlash against its bullying, strongarm tactics. Its legal team apparently believes that ski videos for kids and an old clothing shop represent a real threat. That it's necessary to crush little companies with no relevance to its business at all.
That's why people hate lawyers.
