sucks for Brian, however the whole anti-american thing that TA has turned into is annoying.

It wouldn't be if Brian himself led the discussion. Read his blog!

Ever thought that since the guy has been involved in a number of lawsuits that he isnt always the innocent?

Take it from someone who works in the IP law field (patent litigation, not music), these types of suits are going on all over the world, not just America. I supply documents to attorneys who represent our corporate clients in countries like the UK, the Netherlands, Japan, and Germany pretty frequently based on the same types of technology that our suits are dealing with. The clients file in pretty much every country where the products are being sold, so we work together with foreign counsel to keep costs down. We don't work on contigency at my firm, though, just hourly rates, no matter whether we're the plaintiffs or defense.

Compared with the types of IP theft I see, though, 10 million is far more than this guy will get. I see quite a few 9 figure judgements, but that's when the profits on the products are in the billions/year for years at a time.

"Of lawyers, Mr. Lamm has this to say: "America has 6% of the worlds population but over 50% of the world's lawyers. American goods and services are burdened by having to carry incredible costs that the goods and services of other nations don't have to carry. There is a "lawyer tax" on almost everything we do. The political influence of lawyers keeps us from passing the type of tort reform enjoyed by other nations.""

That's just a little google search result. Nothing official, but still interesting.

I fucking hate the roll-eyes smiley. Use it towards me, and I will attack you. Quite simple. If you're going to be sarcastic, pull your finger out and actually make an effort to convey it in text, rather than coming across as a baselessly condescending dick.

As far as I can tell I don't think I've been patriotic for America in my replies and I was only trying to understand.

You tell me look around the world well I can honestly say I know very few people who have travelled and lived in more countries then me and honestly everywhere on this planet has it's own flaws, some bigger than others yes, but all have their own flaws. Like I said the chaos starts in the US and slowly spreads abroad and potentially worldwide.

Yeah. Every country has its flaws. Doesn't mean that we should sit back and accept any of them.
