"Here is a fact never said- You have to PROVE that the loss of income is greater then about 2500 dollars. Otherwise your case can only go to small claims court. Serving papers ect takes a lot of time and $money$. If you can find the persons location to begin with. Plus- if you do go to small claims court and do get a judgement in your favor- collecting the judgement is almost impossible across state lines. And virtually impossible across countys and oceans" Almost entirely incorrect. The correct part, btw, is that small claims court is usually handled for "small claims". The rest is not entirely conversant with current copyright law -- notably the additional provisions of the DMCA -- and is not applicable to the federal court system as described. Oustside of correcting that small issue, I'm keeping out of this.
thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
