They’re trying all this batshit crazy nonsense to get out of paying $50,000.
The idea being that if they pay 50k to this guy, it might get someone else to want 500k… or 5 million… or more. Alternately, “We got the lawyers, may as well use them.”
Yeah, avoiding precedent is pretty important for big corporations. Not only might someone else sue for more, but I think a successful lawsuit can make future suits easier to win and might open them up to other damages.
