This is an inspiring story about a student beating out Microsoft’s entire legal team without giving in or going broke with legal expenses.
It’s a pretty long but interesting read. I wonder how much money Microsoft’s legal department has billed the software giant on BS lawsuits like this one. This effectively demonstrates what’s wrong with this country’s legal system in terms of bogus and baseless lawsuits. I remember reading something on law firms sending out baseless threats to sue private medical clinics unless they settle out of court. And most of the time, the owners of the clinics are doctors who’d rather spend his limited resources on the patients, therefore most elect to settle out of the court even though the claims are baseless.
Bush has vowed to limit lawsuits like these during his second term in office. Not much has happened yet. It seems like between Iraq, Roberts confirmation hearings and Hurricane Katrina, he can’t be stretched any thinner. He’s not exactly a multi-tasker to begin with anyway…
