U.S. Copyright Group Has South Dakota Subpoena Shot Down → Re: Process Serving? Whazzat?

Pretty much, because even if you took the 50 state bar, you'd have to be admitted Pro Hac Vice to a court you're not a member of the bar in...and for that you need an attorney on the ground to file the motion.

It's been years, but I remember that lawyers here in Michigan who were licensed to practice in Florida were paid a premium because the FL bar exam was extremely difficult to pass.

I hate to admit it, but using our red-tape tangle of a legal system may be the key into shutting down the extortionists. What other route will they take if it becomes too expensive to pursue "pirates" on a case-by-case basis?
