I don't think we could be considered double dipping because we are not recieving royalties form manufactures and end users. We are simply asking for one time license fees to use our products for past and future infringments. One for manufactuers, and one for dealers. And, considering the scope of the piracy, it is very reasonable. I think that is why this appraoch was taken. I think the rule of exhaustion was analyized by TPL, considered and thought through for just the reasons Mike has mentioned.
