Oh, the turnaround.
Personal Audio LLC: We patented "episodic content" including podcasts, Mr. Adam Corolla, and you haven't paid us anything for it. You're making a lot of money from this. We're suing you.
Adam Corolla: No, I'm not making a lot of money from this. I'll fight you and my fans will fight you by contributing to cover legal fees. Also, we're counter-claiming against you to invalidate that patent.
Personal Audio LLC: OK fine, we see now you're not making a lot of money. We're dropping the lawsuit against you. Bye.
Adam Corolla: You may be dropping your lawsuit, but you did so without prejudice... so you could refile if you want. Well, I want to continue my countersuit against you. See you in court.
Personal Audio LLC: Really? Really. You're exploiting your fan base by raising these monies.
Adam Corolla: See you in court.
Personal Audio LLC: Really?
Adam Corolla: Really.
OK, so the last two lines above are an... extrapolation, but not off the mark.
