thought it was kind of crazy that he got default judgments for $250K in statutory damages. I realize that statutory damages aren’t the same as actual damages, but it was my recollection from my litigation days that even if you got a default judgment you still
had to put on evidence of what your damages actually were. Hard to see how a court actually hearing about a counterfeiter with a couple of hundred dollars in sales would have awarded a $250K judgment.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
