The Channel logo

but where does the figure come from

I know it's 'in america' where the most ridiculous ideas are considered, but how is this guy getting to $10m based on loss of earnings from his ebay comic shop!

Surely at most there is the value of the AutoCAD products, 4-5 copies plus ebay fees. Plus 1 months income, although not being able to sell comics will not mean a loss in value of the property he is still in possesion of surely? and a small percentage for those customers who maybe found alternative shops whilst his was offline.

Would be interesting to see someone 'genuinely' take on the strong-arm tactics of Autodesk maybe using an incorrect policy to have the item removed or EULA agreements from a point of principle not greed!
