I have no doubt it is less expensive to settle as there are no damages to pay. If in fact someone thinks they can win, then they can counter sue for costs at the minimum.
I'd like to know where the law states that because someone is guilty of an unlawful act in the past (and paid their dues, by-the-way) that it would have any bearing on a case where someone did something to them. "This case needs to be thrown out your Honor. Even though I did steal his tractor and used it for years to plow my fields, he stole someones tractor 10 years ago". Not gonna fly.
Joes 2 lawyers were Copyright lawyers in previous posts and now they are Trademark lawyers. Okay to be both but kinda weird calling them different things. Still, they could be defending a bunch of lawsuits and putting SC, CB, and publishers to shame if what he says is true.
