When a large multinational corporation sues an individual who cannot possibly have the financial resources to fight back for the express purpose to "make an example of him/her" but is hoping to intimidate the public into being sheep.
This is a tactic used recently by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to stop song sharing on {P2P} sites such as {kazaa} but in reality is trying to control the definition of "copyright" by lobbying congress to abide by the rules they set and then sue individual persons to enforce their rules.

The RIAA recently won a lawsuit against a Native American woman on a reservation to the tune of $220,000 for 24 songs they allege she shared on Kazaa. They did not have to prove that she actually shared the files, they prove that she intended to share them.
Satisfied, the lawyers then said "this should send a message to the public."
This was a clear cut case of bully-suing.

Get the Buggy Roundup mug.Simply an empty minded person who tries to control his lonely and pathetic feelings to put someone down. Makes him feel powerful and more confident, while making someone else become miserable. In high school, some seniors are considered bullies towards underclass men, specifically freshmen, hence making them feel in control.
*1st day of school*
Freshman: Ah, can’t wait to be part of a brand new experience! And make new friends!
Senior Bully: Ah, can’t wait to bully all of these freshmen in order to make me feel more confident and assured of my miserable life...

Get the Bully mug.The word Google Translate inexplicably spits back at you when you try to search the Japanese term あまざけ (Amazake), or, any unexpected and unfortunate experience that has inexplicably occurred, like when one types the word "Amazake" into Google Translate and it returns the word "Bogly".
So Google Translate NOW returns "Sweet Sake" when you type the word Amazake into it instead of returning the inexplicable result of "Bogly" as it did for years? THAT, is Bogly...

Get the bogly mug.bulyhunters was a failed attempt to combat cyberbullying in competitive online multplayer video games, such as CS:GO, Team Fortress 2, and Overwatch
It was a failure not only due to muting being common knowledge in the competitive community, but also due to many factures that have to be perfect for the operation to even work. Furthermore, the means of detering the bully were laughable at best. Essentially, one would call a bullyhunter from there website to join the game and kill the bully. However, in practice, this couldn't be any harder. For this to work, not only are you assuming the server isn't already full, but you're also assuming the bullyhunter is more skilled at the game than the bully, and you're also assuming killing the bully will do anything. Keep in mind, one of the primary objectives in these games is killing the enemy, so if a bully who is skilled enough to bully a likely less skilled player is killed once by a bullyhunter, he'd see as nothing as that is part of the game.
Fun Fact: semi-political comedian Chris Ray Gun actually used Bullyhunters as an example when he coined the term of The Meeseeks Paradox

June: Hey, remember Bullyhunters?
Chris: You mean that shitty attempt to combat cyberbullying in competitive? yeah, I remember. Honestly, the problem is much easier to solve by simply muting and blocking the bully
June: Yeah, Steam basically gives you the tools to make it so you almost never interact with them again.
