Ah .... lawsuit happy America! Makes me wish I went to law school. And people wonder why prices are so high? We have to support our lawyers lavish lifestyle.

When in doubt... counter sue!

(two wrongs make a right... don't they?... Oh wait that's three wrongs, hmmmm

They're not counter-suing.

They're getting the courts to force Infinium to "put up or shut up".

Basically, right now HardOCP is in a position where it is in potential danger of being shut down, or sued. There are MULTIPLE legal precedents in order to protect people and entities from this.

Essentially, you can't come up to me and say "I'm gonna sue you!" and use it to intimidate me. It's illegal. I can take you to court, win, and prevent you from suing or threatening to sue me.

Entities have similar protections.

whatever you want to call it it's still counter sueing (if Infinium hadn't, Kyle & company wouldn't have so it is)

[Gurm]

Infinium DIDN'T sue.

Therefore it isn't counter suing.

Infinium THREATENED to sue.

If you had to term it anything, term it "pre-emptive suing".

It's asking for a declaratory ruling. That isn't a counter-suit - they're asking the court to determine what the facts are. Kyle isn't going after Infinium, he's just asking the court to clear the air.

Oh that's right... threatened to sue... Pardon me

Hadn't been following this too close since my post in the other thread (KB isn't high on my priority list).
