Yes!! Thanks very much to those who have submitted these documents regarding Bernina vs Riddick, and for extortionletterinfo.com for kindly posting them. These documents are indeed educational for anyone who may be caught up in copyright/licensing issues now or in the future. They really shine a light on the motivations, tactics and attitudes of the major players, and especially the workings of law/courts as it relates to these issues.
I also like that many of the documents are in actual "text", and not just a snapshot of the pages; search engines can index the text. Will extortionletterinfo.com become the foremost authority on George P. Riddick? I hope so. I just checked Google. Type in "George Riddick". "George Riddick, III is an Ass!" comes up at the top of the list; Riddick's "Imageline" is listed at number seven.
I'm sure that many are curious about the man (Riddick), who is regarded by most to be the poster boy for over-the-top extortion tactics. To me, it seems that it was his intention to "control" and "lead" the proceedings. The judge is really in control, however; he's seen it all before. This is a situation that illustrates why lawyers are a valuable asset. In court proceedings, the average person usually cannot effectively make a sound argument as to how a law or court precedent supports their case. It is especially so when one is under pressure.
