Yes, a lot of us don't know what the case is about, what iParadigms does or even where McLean, Va. is. And we may not be sure that we should care about it -- at least enough to follow and read the links.

All in all, it's a crappy way to start a weekly edition.

A lot of us (more than half the subscriber base? less than half?) also 
read it with an overtone of 'watch what the US does with trepidation, but 
no one US legal case can affect us in different jurisdictions'.

Its affect on most of the western world, no matter which way it goes, will 
be at most indirect.
