- kryogen1c 7y agoThis lawsuit could drag on for years and cost a significant portion of the amount being sued over because the value is so small. Hardly an equivalence.
- function_seven 7y agoThe alternative is that Wal-Mart establishes a policy of allowing vendors to damage them for 6-figure amounts with little consequence. That’s probably not the right strategy. Kind of like Newegg spending more defending patent lawsuits than settling with the trolls. (Do they still do that?)
- egdod 7y agoTons of lawsuits are brought for under 100k. This argument applies to all of them. The fact that Wal-Mart is a big company doesn't change anything.
- MertsA 7y agoEspecially Walmart, which routinely prosecutes shoplifters even over trivial amounts to curb theft.
