Possible legal solution to tube problem, micro not macro......

So I was thinking, 40,000,000 lawsuit, big lawyers, big expense, huge time, yada yada yada.

What about small claims court. Limits vary from area to area but suing for say $10,000 in losses and unpaid fees to use a particular content set isn't unreasonable to pitch to a judge. You can get a Judgement WITHOUT a lawyer and associated legal fees and garnish assets if they don't pay it, assets like homes, cars, bank accounts, etc.

Here's where it gets interesting. Every theft is a lawsuit, could be hundreds from many areas and then judgements could all be enforced.

Less cost for smaller sites to fight back

thoughts..

If done right sites like tubes that steal content could be crippled by it, and small claims is WAY faster!!!!
