*If* they win and can get the names it's going to legitimize both canipre and the bs info, and *any* trolling (not just voltages trolling).
They're between a rock and a hard place:
They can either retract, save their own asses from bankruptcy, and destroy the copyright troll model in Canada pretty much forever, or they can go ahead with this, lose everything, and the copyright trolls claim some kind of moral victory, and hope to troll another day.
Things be pretty bleak for Voltage and Canpire ATM though.
heh they aren't going bankrupt. Also if they win, they can show the court the costs it took to get this far, thus it won't be a lousy 100$ payout per person as some are saying. Or that will be another fight and they will drag people to court to recoup costs.
I don't get nor understand why you think they will auto lose and go broke...
It's in their best interest to press ahead if they want to try and make money at this. For both companies and a business model.
We don't know if the MPAA is shoveling money to Voltage in order to fund the case against these 'evil' Canadians.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was happening. What's $500k-$1MM in legal costs now in order to open up Canada to wild west extortion in perpetuity by US interests? Think the long game people.
