Studios inocent?

This week in my internship the head of business and legal affairs came to speak to us about her duties and responsibilities in Miramax. It was great to hear a studio's point of view on the matter of copyright litigation instead of continuously learning from biased points of view. I asked her how the mess in intellectual property affected her job at Miramax and how they are used to handling it. To tell you the truth, it seems that at least Miramax is pretty innocent and nice about it. She told us they barely enter any lawsuits and whenever they have outside problems or somebody suing them, they tend to settle in order to avoid large disputes. I do know that this may not apply to all other studios but it would be nice to learn more from the points of view from the other side and why they act the way they do.
