Once you send them one check, they have all the information they need to to an ACH. In fact, that's probably what they are going to do with that one check as well.
We are already talking about fraud by billing for services they did not render; this just changes the specific name of the fraud they may be committing and is unlikely to give them any pause.
It would only take a majority vote to pass the bill. However, you must first close debate and bring the question. In the US Senate since 1975, you need 3/5 of the duly sworn and chosen Senators to allow the bill to be voted on.

"These talking machines are going to ruin the artistic development of music in this country. When I was a boy...in front of every house in the summer evenings, you would find young people together singing the songs of the day or old songs. Today you hear these infernal machines going night and day. We will not have a vocal cord left. The vocal cord will be eliminated by a process of evolution, as was the tail of man when he came from the ape."
People are acting like there was only one case of this type, and that the objective was to win the case on principle.
The entire point is that were talking about people with so much money that they can fund multiple case after case until the defendant runs out of money, regardless of what the defendant actually did. It is accidental that the defendant in this case actually lost.
" If I were on the board, I would want to keep getting that money for many years."
If you were the kind of person to be on the board that kind of money would be chump change, and easily replaced at that.
The kind of people who get to be directors are the kind of people to have big piles of stock or represent people with big piles of stock. Their primary goal is to turn a big pile of stock into a big pile of cash.
"Selling off the assets is not a value proposition, it reduces long term revenue potential."
Selling off all the assets, reinvesting the capital gains elsewhere, and writing off the remainder is the ultimate in revenue potential to a certain type of person.
The job of the CEO is to fulfill the demands of the board of directors. In the case of Yahoo, the interests of the board do no coincide with the long-term existence of the company.
Why fault Marissa Meyer for doing the job demanded of her?
100% debt to GDP is neither the point where people *perceive* that default is immanent nor where it is *actually* immanent. It is merely the point where it becomes mathematically impossible to pay back all debt *in a single year*, which is not being demanded by anyone.
The actual limit is when GDP growth% plus inflation% is equal to debt yield% plus debt growth%. As long as the LHS is larger the total debt is decreasing. Then there is the question of over what time frame this must apply, since short excursions do not invalidate the long term trend, but that is already in question over using *yearly* GDP accumulation.
Empirically it can be shown that nations have survived dept to GDP ratios of as large as 288% short term (UK 1821). The UK spent much of the 18th and 19th centuries over 130%. The world Bank and IMF consider 250% to be long-term sustainable.
While it is dangerous to use microeconomic examples to proved macroeconomics points, it is useful to at least consider the point that people typically buy houses worth more than their annual income with no ill effects.
"How is there any risk if you have a legitimate case?"
The opposing party may also have a legitimate case. The opposing may be willing to sink economically unreasonable funds into the case because of a principle. The opposing party may have access to significantly larger resources than you can access even on credit and can outlast you. You or your counsel may make an error. You have to spend some amount of time at work rather than in a courtroom.
"There never was copyright on the interface code as it is required to function."
A) The appeals court stipulated that it was copyrightable before remanding the case back down to Alsup. B) There has to be copyright for a fair-use defense to apply.
"How exactly can you blame the system adopted on Republicans when they unanimously opposed the bill?"
A. It's the plan previously espoused by Republicans. B. Republicans got every amendment to the bill they asked for.
"the refusal to consider single payer"
Single payer was considered, but was known before the fact to have no traction with Republicans and would have been branded "partisan". Little did the Democrats realize that Voinovich was speaking literally when he said “If [Obama] was for it, we had to be against it.”
Someone gave them $430 million in exchange for ownership of 2.5% of the company. Therefore, they can claim that 100% of the company is worth 40 times that amount.

"that would be criminal check fraud"
We are already talking about fraud by billing for services they did not render; this just changes the specific name of the fraud they may be committing and is unlikely to give them any pause.
It is such an obvious choice to compromise a $550 phone to sell another pair of $200 headphones. What could go wrong?

Mother Jones won the suit filed by Frank VanderSloot, but was financially damaged: http://www.motherjones.com/kev...
How many "losses" like that would Frank VanderSloot have to suffer before Mother Jones was run out of business?

Although if you follow that line of argument, you can't be deported back to a country that no longer exists.
