All the parties involved are aware what a risk jury trials can be. It's why many companies settle, and Lucy Koh specifically warned them about this before the jury began to deliberate. They made their bed as far as I'm concerned. I do have

Uh in one case they've gotten permission and are paying to use it and in the other they're not? The morality is clear.

What makes you think they won't be relevant in 10 years? They're not a distribution company like Netflix, Amazon or the cable companies. They have no direct relationship with subscribers. They don't deal with the marketing to customers, dis
