    With a good case a lot of lawyers would be willing to work pro bono, especially when it’s an individual infringed by a corporation who have plenty to take from.

    For example, the script for the movie The Purge was stolen from an individual in 2012, and after 4 years of litigation Universal paid out a massive settlement in 2018 and also ended the series despite its success.

      A lot of lawyers would be willing to work pro bono on a IP case? You have no way to pay for your rights then. Sounds like a system that is going to work well for you.

      Reforming a bad idea does not make it a good idea. Until you can come to terms with just how imbalanced the system is then you probably don’t know what is really going on.
