He doesn't want to take this to trial. He just wants to Dox kiwi farmers. The subpoena's are obviously being issued in bad faith, but proving that is a pain in the ass. The KUSK lawyers should be careful how hard they push this because they are treading a dangerous path for their law licenses if Hardin or the users attorneys are able to prove bad faith. At a minimum, Dong Gones lawyers will be required to retrain on copyright law and have to pay out their own sanctions penalties (in addition to what Dongus would have to pay) at the absolute worst end for how this could go for them.
Of course, that all depends on how the judges see it, and who the fuck knows with that.
