..the one problem with Stéphane's approach, is you risk creating
case law in Microsoft et al's favor by running out of money for
appeals, litigation against these bad boy billionaires is very
expensive because they will appeal anything they don't like
"just because" they can, and if you do not appeal a bad judgment
in time, it will be left standing and form part of case law.
