I wonder what has changed? The original thread discussing the lawsuit was filled with super dismissive comments, arguing that ubiquity lawyers were incompetent and had no actual way to win the case. Some of the commenters were supposedly actual lawyers too, so it's not even just the normal "terrible armchair law advice" we are used to from HN.
- encryptluks2 4y agoEveryone loves to play the armchair lawyer. Bias quickly fuels whatever side of a case you're on. However discovery and a few court conferences can quickly put things into perspective. Almost everyone's lawyers start off with some encouraging words but eventually they are telling you to settle for X and it is clear that they wouldn't have got paid if they told you that you had a losing case from the get go.

The law isn't necessarily always as pugilistic as Hollywood might lead you to believe. Perfectly fine to think you are right, say you were wrong, settle the case and move on. Of course, we have no way to know what Krebs really thinks or what actually went on behind closed doors here. We should take the written statement at face value, exactly as written. No more no less.
