If I was a pbay lawyer and I knew this info, I wouldn't release it right away. This way, if the judgment is for my clients, great! If not, I can then release it, claim bias, and get a new trial.
If I released it right away and replaced the judge, I won't have an ace up my sleeve if the judgement goes against my client.
I think now, if they spin this correctly, PBay will have far more leverage for their main point - that the trial is a set up by the IFPI-industrial complex.
If I released it right away and replaced the judge, I won't have an ace up my sleeve if the judgement goes against my client.
It's pretty smart actually.
