First off -- no offense was meant, and wasn't raggin on you. Secondly, I have. I've successfully pursued cases in China, Iran, India, Germany, Bolivia, and Mexico. And those are merely copyright cases. Under federal law, I've filed DMCA suits for dollar amounts of -0-. Won two, four pending. Award in the two cases won lately was 400 bucks -- already in the pocket of my client. One of the cases pending at this time involves over 30,000 in fines and a 3 year prison sentence for posting the images in question online -- and this is despite the fact that they didn't make a dime off of doing so. I have tried it. It works. Oh, and my costs for doing so? I've spent less than 300 dollars of my clients' money. THe nicest thing about the DMCA is that the government assumes the burden of costs. knowing the law is the first step to using it. Otherwise it just uses you. hmmm -- that could be applied to the month of september overall, I think...

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)
