First, let me make clear that although I am a lawyer (please don't 
hold it against me!), Habeas is not a law firm;  we are an assured 
email delivery system -slash- anti-spam company.  We are suing 
spammers, but we use outside counsel to do it.

In fact, in the cases we have now, we are trying to get ISPs to join 
our case, so the answer is "yes" - it would almost certainly be the 
case that the lawsuit would already be in process, we would come 
into the evidence, and ask whether you wanted to join the suit.

That's a really good point, thank you!
