I get WHY they want it to be tried in California.  It's just a huge stretch of an arguement.

It's also a huge stretch to use the IP numbers in penalty hearings.

I just want to be sure my comprehension is sound, so feel free to correct me.

You're implying, based on this and past posts in the thread, that these reasons are so much of a stretch that the only logical use would be to pursue the individual IPs?

If not, well I kind of agree. I wouldn't call it a stretch, but I wouldn't call it a favorable position either. It's too early to call the case and how this evidence will affect it (even if this succeeds and it moves to CA, a CA judge might find for the defendant).

My stance on this is that this is the legal system and the way it works. Maybe IP laws need retooling, or the legal system does, but I don't anything particularly eggregious here specifically. It is reasonable that a company whose product is being cracked should be able to fight back, and I would see non-pursuance of these IPs as self-handicapping.
