For those who might be interested in the dustup these scopes have caused, here's are a few pages of the 70 page (!) complaint.
PLEASE, if anyone replies to this please delete all of the text below except for any specific portion you wish to comment on.
I'd like to hear from any of our resident optics experts what they think about the merits of the action.

Well, I am hardly an expert, but I love this quote: "48. The market for Ritchey-Chretien telescopes is a niche market, to which Star Instruments and RC Optical are the main sources of supply. Defendants' scheme threatens to destroy that niche market and the businesses of Star and RC Optical." I am fairly certain, having seen the prices of a genuine RC telescope, that anyone in thier "Niche market" knows full well that the Meades are not a true RC. ~Jon C.
