After reading the verdict it is apparent that the judge decided that chasing copyright infringers was the main business NOT producing content...very much like patent trolls. I too come down on the side of copyright owners but this case raises some questions...like why isnt it ok to make more money from copyright violations than from producing content? Admitted we dont want companies doing this left and right and clogging up the courts but a few cases with big verdicts for infringement and these start going away.

interesting decision
