> That's not what happened here, there has been no ruling on any agreement, and the injunction order that was given only applies to HiQ, only temporarily, and nobody else.

An injunction is not given without merit. It has meaning.

Injunctions are regularly denied when the arguments are clearly in one direction or another.

No precedent has been set, but the conversation is definitively in the opening stages.
