The way trials work is you will, in 99.9% of cases, never know it's a copyright trial until partly through voir dare (jury selection). So you'd already be in the potential juror pool. The assumption is the plaintiff (the person whose copyright was 'stolen') is the giant corporation.

good answers

Funny, thought provoking, honest, blah blah blah. I don't really care very much other than more than I'm bored.

So It is not copyright but patent infringement that I can tell you about. I was invested in a company that made a drug to help burn victims and the FDA passed it. On the day it passed Genentech filed a patent infringement suit against the small company over a mickey mouse patent they got in the 1980s (along with thousands of others) (the pioneer days of bio-tech) and refused to license it so the drug never came to market. The reason they won the lawsuit was only money. They needed to stop the competitive drug and this was the cheapest way out. It was also filed in California where they are based and the other company was based in Va and very small. genenetech lawyers just overwhelmed the small company lawyers as if they stole the patent when they did not, (it was a very minor part of the drug trial regardless) The company I was invested in chose to stay alive rather than go for broke. I would LOVe to serve on a jury and see thru the nonsense lawyers pull.

The vidya game industry suffers a similar fate in the court room very very very often. The idea of "pokemon" was straight ripoff of dragon quest (IIRC). Where's the crushing blow to pokemon? Money prevents that and the like in other situations. There's a lot of content written about this phenomena.

Wow til about dragon quest. The irony now that Nintendo have patented the idea of Pokeballs and took/threatened to take the creators of palworld to court for using monster capturing device

It's absolutely insane. Every glance at reality, at a timeline etc. proves palworld was first.
