Interesting, Kerry, you are right Wonder why they didn't include that in the blurb. Guess it was just entertainment news. That is a hollow victory if they didn't even respond. Maybe they're bankrupt or they signed the "rights" to some other entity to market. Where did you see the specifics of the case?

usually the reason(s) is that there is either no money to defend, or jurisdictional issues (so why bother defending). Often the latter. If the plaintiff goes to collect, the defendant just collaterally attacks the judgement on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, and bang goes the judgment. Though with the reach of the net, that's a somewhat dangerous strategy these days. The issues of venue and personal jurisdiction are evolving rapidly, and I sure wouldn't recomment that a client advertising over the net rely on them.
