- gph 14y agoI don't know, presumably they have a lot more money to put into a legal defence. Even if they lost, in the long run the other side would probably bankrupt themselves in the process. And it's doubtful that the judgement against them would be very high. I don't really know how copyright/civil law would work in Finland or wherever the case would be, but I don't know how much lost revenue TPB admins could claim. They'd likely only be able to force them to cease use of their code/likeness, and I suppose an outside chance at recouping lost ad revenue.
