In 1989 a bloke by the name of Kerry Packer tried to sue us, he lost. It was actually a pretty similar situation. Big mammoth against little old us.

Some smart cookie here has already pointed out your problem of choosing jurisdiction.

Let me spell it out for you, I am an Australian citizen, anything I do which is legal in another jurisdiction has no interest to Australian law, neither would US law apply as all this talk of DMCA and Safeharbour is greek to me.

The problem is magnified if some offshore company owned by a group of other entities actually did the job. Then the only thing you'd get if you could even sue at all, would be the assets of the company because it would be the legal entity you may be able to sue.

Of course, as any good Phoenix knows, you just rise from the ashes while your opponent burns themselves to death wasting cash suing something with no value, therefore you might get a judgement but no actual enforcement.

I think you underestimate me Nathan, I do not lie, I am straight up with everyone in this business and all business, even my opponents. I have had some quite interesting contacts from people over this idea, you can believe what you want, I don't care.

Will I get this done ? I don't know. However I think I have found your one weak spot, your one little vulnerability and that makes me happy.
