<I wonder if those companies who signed up for other licenses at the same time as the MMP could be called to give evidence? (excuse the Perry Mason language!)>

A very astute thought. What would the benefit be for those companies to lie? The witnesses would have no idea if anything existed that could catch them in a lie. What if other companies said it happened to them? How would your testimony look if yours was the only exception to the rule?

And if my understanding is correct, proof already exists in some of the sealed documents that it happened at least in one instance. So acknowledgement by a witness that sale of a TPL license was made at the expense of an MMP license merely confirms that it happened more than the one time. If on the hook anyway for the one time, how much does it help to lie about it happening on other occasions and thus put your company at risk with no apparent benefit?

I would think our bargaining position vis-a-vis TPL is pretty darn strong if indeed TPL was using the MMP to make other license sales, as we all suspect they were.

Perhaps we can get some legal minds to chime in if they haven't already done so. In catch up mode right now.
