Actually, I wish people would stop targeting this as exclusively American legal braindamage as such is simply not a fair statement to make. The German and French legal systems, for example, are at least as braindead in their own ways and I seem to recall a german lawyer causing all kinds of havoc a few months back with his own trademark suits. The russians would also no doubt engage in such legal foolishness except for the tiny fact that they no longer have a legal system, that having been sold to the russian mafia a number of years back. All things considered, I think I'll take the threat of a lawsuit over the threat of kidnapping and a bullet in my head when my relatives can't raise the ransom money. :-) Jordan
