IANAL, either, but it looks like these documents came out of the discovery process: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_%28law%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_%28law%29 As a result, Fusion Garage knows that TechCrunch knows about these documents, and their lawyers should realize that they will probably be used as evidence. Also: I’m embedding all the relevant documents below. A lot of time has been spent by Fusion Garage’s lawyers to try to keep these documents under seal, but they have recently been made publicly available. I imagine that they wanted the documents kept private because they make Fusion Garage look very bad. Even if they end up surviving this lawsuit, I do not think very many companies will want to work with them.
