Re: Bad Article, Poor Advice
Just to tweak the analogy a bit closer to the RIAA, after you sued Nightfall for painting his house purple, you would quickly contact him and tell him that you were willing to settle for $3,000. Otherwise, he could look forward to a long, drawn out trial, tons of legal expenses, and financial ruin when he finally lost his case. (You might also remind him that you have plenty of time and money to fight this case and that he would likely tire before you.)
Of course, if he signs the settlement, he has to agree that painting his house purple lowered the value of the other houses on the block. And your settlement won't protect him should the other neighbors decide to sue also. |
