<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Thanks.  I read about this case.  Hadn’t seen the article, but I had the same thought—it was a bit weird that Combs apparently didn’t know who he was suing.  I also 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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
