Pff, that's it? More than worth the money I'd say.

$21 million? Nintendo made that just now while I was typing "$21 Million."

That's probably why the fine is 21 million instead of somthing comparable to what Anascape actually deserves. America's court system taking the side of an American business over a foreign business? That's so unheard of...

NoA's an American business though =p

Actual phone conversation between Anascape and Microsoft

[quote]"Hi. Is this Microsoft?"
"Maybe. Who the **** are you?"
"We're Anascape, and we're suing you."
"LOL. I dare you to try."
"We will! Seriously!"
"Want a billion dollars, Bananaskate?"
"Wow! Uh, yeah, but that's a bit much. And it's pronounced Ana--"
"Want a billion dollars shoved up your collective asses, Bananaskate?"
"...no. :("
"Then I guess you don't want to **** with Microsoft. Dispute settled. Buy Vista!" *click*

I'm pretty sure that the original transcript of that conversation also had the line from Microsoft: "Go after Nintendo. They are drunk with the Wii's success, and won't notice a quick $21 million lawsuit here and there."
