"BTW why is is presumed that Handal makes the settlement decisions in a vacuum? Wouldn't e.Digital have input?"

e.Digitals considered mission was to be agnostic to the industry. e.Digital has patented methods that the industry , as a whole, need as the future of computing putters along.

IMO, they are still on that mission and little by little they are achieving their initial objective.

My point, with regard to the appeal resolution....e.Digital gains a better foot in making itself agnostic to the industry.

I have no idea how important the funds might be, at this time, that e.Digital recovers during the process.

There's a lot going on to consider. However, that said....the appeal is a hard fact of the process with determining factors..
