		<description>Hi John,

Thanks for reading the blog and your comments, I appreciate the kind words.

I was a tad surprised this morning to see a few comments flying by on Twitter about how Arrington copped a smack from the courts, when I thought at least that he had a pretty strong case.  I then found and decided to read the actual ruling document and found it to be at odds from what was being said around the traps.  Either people didn&#039;t read what the judge wrote and/or didn&#039;t understand what the ruling meant.  I think in some cases it was a bit of both.

As far as startups go, its become something of a passion of mine.  Down here in Australia the startup community is very small and is probably best described as fledgling.  I know there are enough talented people here for the country to product some real success stories (and they are coming) but with any nascent group, the key is getting those people in touch with the right resources at the right time.  That&#039;s a large part of what I&#039;m doing (much of it behind the scenes).


Thanks for the link to Scott Walker&#039;s stuff - I&#039;ve read it on occasion but it never made my &quot;rotation&quot; (to steal a radio idea).  I&#039;ll check it out more closely.  

Thanks again for your comment and hopefully your entrepreneurial dreams catch fire and work out for you!</description>

		<description>Sean, this was compelling to read. Thanks for telling the somewhat &#039;untold story&#039; of the ruling in Arrington/TechCrunch vs. JooJoo...and nice job breaking down the lawyer-speak into something quite readable. I am admittedly a huge fan of TechCrunch and consider Arrington a hero of mine, so obviously I am rooting for him and TC to win the lawsuit. 

As for the last section on legal advice for startups...good stuff mate. I am an aspiring entrepreneur and this just reinforces the importance of getting professional, sound legal advice from the get go. Have you read any of Scott Walker&#039;s stuff on legal advice for startups? http://walkercorporatelaw.com/blog/ He&#039;s solid.</description>
