Usenet gives a lot of freedoms cheaply, but a lot of this case now is
about public statements made on Usenet and what impact they may have
had.
I can put a dollar amount on that and then consider civil litigation
options.
What I have is mathematical research easily shown to be different than
what was known before, like my prime counting function while similar to
previous results is a multi-dimensional one that leads to a partial
differential equation.
So, say that is put in front of a jury in a civil litigation and what
is your defense?
*If* you find a lawyer to represent you, she'll seek advice from one or
more mathematicians. They will be Evil Establishment Mathematicians
who will tell her that you are a nutter. *If* the case ever appears before
a jury, any called upon witness expert will be another Evil Establishment
Mathematician who will make it clear to the jury that you are a nutter.
Perhaps it's not fair, but that's the way it is. ;-)
