... the judge is an idiot if he doesn't spend 5 minutes looking at the MIT license to know it is a spurious, vexatious lawsuit that is exploiting his court ... unless he's somehow in on the scam
The judge followed precedent and did what was expected. Its not a failing on his part so much as the UK legal system.
Regardless, the issue only affects those in the UK, who can quite easily get around it with a VPN.
Umm so, Nuremberg defense for the judge?
Not my battle. Just pointing out that nobody expected the judge to act any differently, not even Cobra. If the judge had acted differently they would have had to explain why a defendant not showing up for trial shouldn't result in default judgment for the plaintiff, and break precedent.
Yes, the judge did what he was supposed to do. A default judgement for the plaintiff if the defendant does not show up is norm in all normal jurisdictions, otherwise you could avoid a trial and/or judgement forever by simply not showing up.
However, before a case goes to trial it's looked at to see if it's a "real" case or just a frivolous lawsuit, and this is where the court has failed, they should have thrown it out simply because of the MIT license.
So, why did Cøbra not show up? And why does he want to hide his identity? Is it because of fear of his life ($5 wrench attacks)?

But I would obviously have preferred it if CSW lost that case. Now he has a precedent, and based on his past history, he will be rubbing it in our faces every chance he gets. He has even changed the White Paper author name:
