If the appeals court judges decided to push this case forward as a precedent (they didn't really, although they implied as much in their decision) it is not only completely financially infeasible to expect someone to pay millions of dollars to defend it, but it's also a *terrible* example of a case due to the absurd multi-continent-fraudulent behaviour of the plaintiff!

It will almost certainly not serve as precedent because of this fact alone.
