From what I understand the application fee is 6 figures, I can't imagine anyone can afford to TLD squat. He's probably an attorney who specializes in this kind of bureaucratic paperwork and has lots of different clients who want TLDs.
Criminal sentences are NOT about revenge. Or at least they aren't supposed to be in theory.
Actually...there are many theories as to the purpose of criminal sentences and laws. We spent the first half of my Criminal Law class my 1L year in Law School discussing them. And revenge is most definitely a theory beyhind criminal law. It may be a bit out-dated, but it is there and there are many people who subsribe to it.
Suing people is kind of the point of patents. Someone else uses the same idea, you get to use the force of law against them, assuming your patent is valid. Otherwise, I don't think there's a point, save for defensive purposes.
I think the point would be to license the patent instead of sitting on it and suing people when they infringe.
No, you understand it right. The ruling only applies to the Contract signed between the two parties. Other contracts may be different, or heck, the appeals court may overrule anyways. However, Kaleidescape could still be liable for copyright violations. That will have to go to a federal court to be determined.
IANAL, but businesses are already allowed to set minimum prices, there is just a presumption that it violates anti-trust laws. However, this presumption can be rebutted. All this case would do is remove the presumption that it violates the anti-trust laws.
I have to say as a law student, I'm not sure how anyone cheats. You have one grade per semester, the final exam. Generally, during said exam you don't have time to cheat anyways, hell, you usually don't even have time to finish the exam.
Most US states have a statute of frauds as well, many which read very similar to the original British one. This isnt a matter of common law, but statutory law.
In regards to Question 3, doesn't anyone else remember not long ago when AMD was mouthing off about Apple switching to their chips? Sounds like these negotiations may been going on awhile...
On top of all that, Greengrass has proven that he does not mind directing movies which bear no resemblence to the books they are based on when he directed the Bourne Supremacy.

Not to be argumentative, but what I described was per se ;) It mean presumed, but rebuttable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_per_se, while prima facie means the minimum required elements are present, but not determinative http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prima_facie

IANAL, but I think it is only illegal if you have been legally declared a monopoly.

That song choice also provides strong evidence that it was not her that downloaded the music....

I can say as a State employee of North Carolina, Solatire was removed from the machines where I work a long time ago.
