If I remeber my previous napster stories, the plaintiffs in a lawsuit that want an injunction, they have to provide a bond in case they lose in a court case. If they lose the bond goes to the defendants.
from new.com: "She also ordered the RIAA to post a $5 million bond to compensate Napster for lost business should Napster eventually prevail in the case. "
IANAL; hell even if I was a lawyer, I wouldn't tell anybody.
Actually the notion of process fighting back blows my mind. It actually frightens me a bit. As soon as you give any process a sense of self preservation, watch out, the terminator ain't too far behind. The implications of this have been played out in Sci-Fi circles for ages, and almost none of them paint a pretty picture.
