Comment on Automattic sues, strikes back at fraudulent DMCA takedown notices

Comments

These cases look fairly cut-and-dried. The one thing that makes me wonder is the international angle, neither defendant is located in the US.

Seems like the real prize is setting a precedent to be used in other cases. It would seem recovering monetary awards from international parties may be quite difficult or impossible.

"Seems like the real prize is setting a precedent to be used in other cases"

That was my initial thought, especially from the point of view of comments above about it being difficult for small companies to afford a suit.

Not a lawyer, but it must be faster/cheaper/easier to sue after a precedent has been made that can be referred to
