Lawsuits are only beneficial for lawyers. Don't bother.

A Mellotron has tapes. Everybody knows that. He's not going to steal any business from someone who wants a real Mellotron. I just think the whole thing's weird. Why he didn't call it a Mark VI-D is beyond me though. You'd think he's want to capitalize on and promote his own creations. Really strange.

It is a risky, irresponsible  thing fo Markus to do. It is bad for business all around.  It is publishable business news.  It hurts David directly.  Any mainstream help investment etc will be strictly old school tie or dads friends for everybody at this point until this goes away.


From a Wharton business school perspective, the best way to solve this is to do a pr and court blitz on Markus and drag David in to accelerate the legal costs overall. The first day would cost $60k overall roughly, Whoever is incorporated in the US/Canada pays the most.

It begs the question whether you have attempted to ask Markus yourself 
and if so, what the response was. And if not, why?
