Thanks.

So you can't be extradited to the states or go to jail there as it doesn't violate the CFAA (as the supreme court sent it back)?

I guess 500k and no lawyer fees sounds like it isn't punitive given it's, i assume, decently sizeable company?

I'm wondering if we're looking at another MPAA/RIAA situation where they threaten 6 figure sums at individuals.

I lived through that, but this time it's not some 32kbps mp3s of metallica, it's just the entire future of human thought and power itself.

You never really know how a common law justice system is going to act.
