You'd be judgment-proof if you were unemployed and didn't own
real estate. I'd guess that personal property wouldn't be subject
to seizure in this case.
Interesting question: could the court sieze the server in question, or
would it have a workman's-tools exemption?
Hi Lan,
Isn't the workman's-tools exemption related to bankrupty?
If the server in question was actually owned by the defendant,
who knows? If it was leased/rented I think it's safe. What's
a server worth these days? A copyright holder going after
someone has to be ready to spend thousands of dollars for court
and attorney fees. Thus, they will do their homework before
getting started. If the defendant has no job, no real estate,
but owns a $500 P4 Linux server, they won't even try to sue
unless they're doing it to make a point. (RIAA?)
Regards,
Lew
