You're both wrong, his actions are not successfull. In fact they harm the society as a whole and help the company. The money he 'wins' doesn't come from the company, any more than the money that pays the companies lawyers comes from the company. It comes from the customers via higher prices. So what you're actually doing is allowing the company to take more money from the community then would have happened without such laws. What you're doing is stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. Some 'good'. -- ____________________________________________________________________ We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
