    “Competition is fine” says the guy that was born into wealth and was given a huge leg up in life. Although, I really hope they duke it out in court with Meta just so they burn through piles of money needlessly.

      I’m thinking their lawyers are already on retainer and being paid anyway? The money they waste will be taxpayers funding the court system.

        I thought being on retainer meant that they get paid to be ready to take on a case if needed and ensure they get at least partially paid for their services. I bet a major case like this would call for a whole team of lawyers all billing for hundreds of hrs of work. I don’t think a retainer would cover everything. I could be wrong though, I’m not a lawyer.

          I’m not a lawyer either. But this will definitely fuck up someone’s day at the pro shop.
