I think I agree, but I don't know of a license brought here that actually does this--I don't think it's been discussed. Know of any examples, so we can wave it around for a while and maybe conclude this for certain? Being able to give an alternative to a general choice of venue clause that is uncontroversially free might go a long way towards fixing the problem. (I don't know enough about venue selection to know if countersuits are a problem; for example, if the result would be that when Company X sues me in my own venue, and I countersue, I have to take it up in an a completely different venue. I just don't know enough about venue selection to answer this case.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
