Overcast -- "In any event - it’s a BS judgment. The judge had to be a complete idiot - if you didn’t take the steps to ‘unlock’ this - well, you didn’t see it."

No judge involved here. It was settled out of court.

And that's the problem I really have with these types of cases. It's generally much cheaper for the defendant to settle out of court, pay the lawyers their fees, and go on their merry way, then to spend time in court and fighting it.

If Take Two had gone to court, $1 million in legal fees would have looked like chump change (since the losing party would probably have appealed) and the likelihood of recouping that loss would have been minimal.

In other words, the plaintiff lawyers are nothing but extortionists.
