It's becoming painfully apparent that you are a newcomer in the perpetuation of the Dimented One's twisted version of the truth.
You've been here how long?
"I seriously doubt HP wants anything to do with this stinky pinky lawsuit issue but they have no choice. As the successor to Iterated they inherit the rights and responsibilities of being the licensor of the VDK 2.0 codec rights."
I seriously doubt that HP wants anything to do with this lawsuit either, but has little to do with your "stinky pinky" connotation and more to do with Dimension Inc's attempt to bring HP as a full defendant. What do you think their reaction will be when all the sordid details of what really happened as a result of expanded discovery not to mention Dimension's attempts at patenting HP's prior art?
"Once HP has all the facts I presume they will confirm the license to DFI failed due to DFIs inability to issue the required stock to Iterated and that the license to DFMI was the valid one since they met the payment requirements."
Once HP has all the facts your presumption will fall flat on it's face. Something I'm certain you will come to reluctantly realize with a pronounced thud.
"As I understand it the other facts will show all the money to pay for the rights came from those in DFMI and that nobody was left in DFI after being moved to DFMI and all of that was confirmed by both sides income tax returns the past 15 years."
Interesting that for someone who claims to have been a shareholder for the last 15 years neglects to mention how the monies were "raised" to pay for a codec that was clearly meant for TMMI. You may also want to note that TMMI had spent millions in the development on the various iterations of the fractal code not to mention Taylor Kramers intellectual contributions and was not meant for some third party group led by a dentist to walk away with intellectual property for a mere fraction of it's cost.
"This isnt really a case, its a massacre. Why is TMM still staying in this? When your only defense is that your subsidiary commited fraud you are in big trouble."
Interesting choice of words, "smitty". What you fail to realize is that it is TMMI that is sueing Dimension Inc and not the other way around. According to your twisted description one would think it was TMMI that has been handed their bottom on a platter by the courts rulings to date when in fact we know otherwise now don't we "smitty".
