The impracticality of turning to the courts is what drives a lot of the thirst for government regulation — legislative relief is the only hope for these classical musicians.
What good are the courts if the law is on your side but justice is inaccessible?

- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoThey work better in loser pays systems. A legitimate complaint can't be shut down with escalating costs.
- space_fountain 6y agoDoesn't that make it a lot worse if you as an average Joe do lose against a team of well payed lawyers?
- joking 6y agoNot really, the fees are more o less standard, and if one of the parties decide to go with ten lawyers, the loser pays only the fees published by the legal system, at least where I live.
- rectang 6y agoA legitimate complaint absolutely can be shut down because there is no guarantee that you will win even if you are in the right. The risk management calculation is completely different if you are an individual of limited means who cannot afford to lose as opposed to a deep-pocketed entity that can absorb the worst-case costs.
