MODERATORS
It wasn't completely unwinnable, it was legally untested waters and could have gone either way, had they fought and won they would have even set a precedent for future emulation projects.
This wasn't some 2 person team project. It was a company with real money that could have fought and laid the foundation for the future safety of emulation. And because they were a company all liability laid with the company with no personal liability risk to the founders. But they didn't, they settled in less than 2 days, tucked tail and ran with the remaining money.
Cowards.
