For everyone who THINKS SC should be putting pirates out of business, and doing for you, what you should doing for yourself, YOU should be the one filing unfair business practices against the pirate companies.
SC is NOT in the KJ market, they are doing exaclty what you should be doing, that is, getting what THEY deserve.
SC is protecting THEIR house not yours.
If you think the pirates should be put out of business then send them a "cease a desist" then take their butts to court for unfair business practices, they are competing against you, not SC or any other manu.
I'm actually considering it, and I KNOW I have a case. It's unfortunate that we can't use the SC settlements as ammo because they are "sealed".
Any one who thinks SC is or should be their saviour against piracy is delusional.
I have seen a dent in the pirates operating in my area. One disappeared, several settled, one was dropped, one co. filed chap 13 ( large multi rigger) .They are no way off the hook though. Many more are pending.
I have been called by 3 clubs ( didn't work out though).
SC IS having an effect on piracy. But many ppl have expectations that WAY off base.
