The way I'm viewing this is that Nucore wants to go after someone for pirating their product. OK, that's fine this is the US after all, where you sue someone at the drop of a hat. Mind you, I am NOT condoning what was done to Nucore-plainly stated-it sucks. BUT-and this is where some critical forethought should have gone into this-WHAT does Nucore stand to gain by suing these jerks? Court fees aren't free. Attorney's fees are not free. Sheriff's fees (for serving) are not free. Lost revenue due to being tied up in court are just that-LOST. Nucore will NOT recoup any of this, period. Oh, and if they win, which they very likely will, they will collect whatever the defendant can afford, not a dollar more. You think the dollar value of what they can collect is more than what they've lost in actually SELLING their product over the last few years? Maybe, but not likely. What if they're judgement-proof? Lots of people are these days. Oh, and IF they win, good luck collecting. Remember, in the US the court systems are geared towards the thief, NOT the victims. Sorry to sound so cynical, but that is the way it is. I truly hope to see Nucore up, running & making a profit soon, but this court case nonsense is going to cost them.
