>plaintiffs are trying to pierce the corporate veil

They're also trying to get a $75T judgment. I'd suggest what they are seeking and a likely reality don't overlap much.



In this case, the court gave them exactly what they asked for:

"As a result of the actions and benefits described above, Lime Group and Gorton are liable for LW’s inducement of infringement. See Capitol Records, Inc., 218 F. Supp. 2d at 284-85; Blum v. Kline, 1988 WL 52916, *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 17, 1988) (finding that president of defendant corporation could be found liable for infringement because he “owns all of [the corporation’s] shares and is responsible for [its] daily activities.”)."

(full summary judgement here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/31272055/Arista-Records-Summary-Ju...)


Well that's mildly disappointing. I guess he'll have to declare bankruptcy.

I still think the judgement should be payable in mass emails of pictures of $20 bills.
