Re: uh huh
Actually, for most people, there is an even lower standard - can they afford the first day of court?
The bottom line is, you can easily spend more than the settlement would cost just walking through the door with a halfway competent attorney.
This is how the RIAA manages to extort so much money - they know that the people they are suing can't afford a real legal battle, and the people they are suing realize it as well. In most cases, they are probably guilty of what they are being accused of - but it really doesn't matter, does it?
This is why a lot of scam artists threaten to sue when someone reveals their scheme on the Internet. It is cheaper to back off than risk going to court. |
