I think you are being too "realistic". A brother in soul with LL.

Perhaps I am being too simplistic but the fact that DM took this case on "CONTINGENCY" says it all. This type of firm would not take a case like this if they did not feel their chances of prevailing was far more than 50-50. That being so, I do not believe DM would be anywhere near EDig if they calculated their "profit" to be 40-50% of a ten million dollar settlement.

Putting the time, energy and resources into this for $5,000,00 as its share of a settlement and then have to pay taxes (maybe) on it would definitely NOT be a goal of DM.

If your thought process prevailed DM WOULD NOT BE HERE.

Can you imagine the conversation in the boardroom....."OK guys, we have a pretty good case here, let go and "DO IT". "Lets put in those long hours, months, years of work, pay ourselves out of our own funds and all the legal costs involved and we could possible get a settlement out of one or two of those infringers of $10 maybe $20 million which would mean we can get $8,000,000, just enough to cover our costs"... YEAH MAN, LETS GO......
