Assuming the court has any sense they will agree with: Low probability of X doesn't mean X isn't going to happen.

I've seen so little evidence of common sense anywhere in the last 10 years that I wouldn't hold my breath. My guess (based on zero evidence and being fairly cynical) is that they will be found guilty.

You better be right about this common sense deficit or I will have to drag you into court.

Drag him anyway, he'll probably settle. It's what all the latest patent companies are doing. I see no reason why it can't work on a smaller scale.

And if he doesn't settle, I can always sue you for saying so. :-)
