Pepsi in their legal opinion, did the right thing ...

So Pepsi, and not the courts, are the sole arbiter of what is right, and what is not?

no that's not what I meant. I am sorry I am not a lawyer, so I do know the exact legal terms, but when I took business law, I was told acknowledging a lawsuit could be detrimental to your defence. I made no judgment about the case itself.

Didn’t say “sole arbiter”.

If some yahoo files a gazillion dollar suit against you because he claims copyright on the phrase “So Pepsi, and not the courts, are the sole arbiter of what is right, and what is not?” and says you stole that phrase to his everlasting agony, will you proceed to spend several thousand dollars responding to the suit? No, you’ll blow him off.

Ditto Pepsi. A couple Yahoos from Wisconsin say selling water in a bottle was their idea and Pepsi stole it. Does Pepsi take them - and all other frivolous/trolling/harassing suits - seriously at a cost of several thousand dollars each? or just ignore the idiocy?

This will cost Pepsi millions of $$$$, and quite frankly, I’m happy they get to pay. The slimeballs running that company deserve to get “bitch-slapped” twice a day in my opinion.
