Come on don't be so dramatic about this, i think there are thousands of lawsuits like this going on right now. This is the 21th century be ready to get sampled to death. It wasn't really smart of that Hewton guy to get this case so big he is facing bankruptcy, the whole e-mail is a bit to dramatic, oh i am loosing my house over this well if you don't have the money to go to court then don't go! I really don't hope we have to discuss every sample case on this list.
