just some random rhetorical questions that i don't necessarily need the answer to, just for discussion: The pdf mentioned remanding - were there further judgments by the lower court? legal costs in defending your products can be costly as shown clearly by this and many other examples throughout history. why didn't insurance cover the cost of defending this lawsuit, unless Anna was self-insured?

What bothered me was that when Good Times took over the Firm, they refused to issue the original six workouts on dvd. The ones that they did issue were not chaptered. It wasn't until after Anna passed away, that her family was able to get control of her work, and issue well chaptered dvds of her original work.

That's interesting. When I bought BSS 1, they were vhs tapes. I later acquired dvds of the set, but they were 3 separate ones. They weren't chaptered, but the quality was good. The other thing that caused confusion was that there were different colored covers for the same workout, so it was easy the get confused.

It was at the same time that I would see pirated copies of her work on Ebay. I would give her lists of sellers that was trying to sell them and then she would send the list to her lawyer to deal with, if Ebay didn't do anything about it.

I stand corrected on that timeline. I think it's great that you were able to have that contact with Anna as well as keep an eye on those who were stealing her intellectual property.
I also think Good Times made a serious mistake in not issuing the original 6 on dvd early on. I think it would have been profitable for them.
